The Taj Lake Palace is strongly committed to preserving and introducing India's cultural heritage to the world. In this regard, it has dedicated an exhibition space to the renowned terracotta pottery of the village of Molela. The village is very distinctive and famous for this art form that has been preserved for centuries and involves the use of river mud and clay to make devotional plaques, murals and tiles with fascinating details and narratives.

It is possible to visit the village accompanied by a guide and carry out interactive experiences with local artisans, helping to safeguard this ancient art for generations to come.
