The register

Every entry currently on the map. Nothing is ranked — a craft held by one family sits level with a craft employing thousands.

Photographs

Each entry has a photo slot, keyed to its filename. Drop a folder named photos/ beside this file with images named craft-id.jpg and they appear everywhere automatically — map thumbnails, list and detail. Until then, each slot falls back to its drawn panel.

To try it now without moving files: pick images from your computer and any whose filename matches a craft id will load straight into the page. Nothing is uploaded — the images stay in this browser tab.

The district atlas

Entries that name each district, highest first. Click any district to filter the map. Low numbers mark thin documentation at least as often as thin craft.

The GI register

Fifteen registered handicraft geographical indications. Click a row to open the craft where this volume carries one. Source: Geographical Indications Registry, Chennai, and the published state registration lists.
