Nagina Wood Craft is a traditional carving art from Nagina, Bijnor district, Uttar Pradesh, known for its handcrafted combs, pen stands, toys, and decorative items. Crafted from sheesham, abnooz, teak, and mango wood, these pieces reflect precision, cultural symbolism, and centuries-old craftsmanship, often used in fashion, décor, and ceremonial settings.
Nagina woodcraft traces its roots to the Mughal era, when woodcarvers are believed to have migrated from Iran and settled in Uttar Pradesh.
