Handicraft industries play an important role to promote cultural tourism as well as in the livelihood and economy of rural people of a developing country like India. The ancient Dokra craft of Dariapur village is famous for that. Dokra artisans have been traditionally making similar product from beginning till today and they are leading a simple rural life without any diversity. But in today‟s era of globalization, the global fashion and luxury industries are increasingly involved in trading market. Therefore, Dokra industry as a cultural tourism sector is in a difficult situation. Yet the Dokra artisans have presented their artistic tradition with reverence and love. The present research paper covers the history of Dokra industry as a cultural tourism hub, the livelihood of the artisans, opportunities for developing the industry as a cultural tourism hub and in addition to highlight the current problems or constraints in the industry, multiple proposals have been announced to address these issues.
