Jammu and Kashmir: Srinagar's Kumar family to showcase pottery at G20 Summit

| @indiablooms | 21 May 2023, 08:05 pm

The Kumar family from Srinagar, renowned for their exquisite glazed pottery craftsmanship, are all set to portray their creations in the upcoming G20 Summit in Kashmir.

Abdul Salam Kumar, a seasoned potter hailing from Ishber Nishat, began his journey in the art of pottery at the age of 10, working alongside his father, reports ANI.

Reflecting on their journey, Abdul Salam expressed gratitude to Almighty Allah for sustaining their livelihood through the pottery trade.

"Youth must learn the value of hard work to secure their livelihoods. If anyone is interested in learning this art, I am willing to teach them for free," Abdul Salam stated with generosity as quoted as saying ANI.

Mohammad Umar Kumar, Abdul Salam's 28-year-old son, joined his father's pottery business after completing his B.Com degree.

"After failing to secure employment elsewhere, I made the choice to carry on our family trade. It is a way for me to contribute to our household income," Mohammad Umar was quoted as saying by the Indian news agency.
