Which community in Bihar is traditionally associated with the craft of wood-carving?

Santhals
Dusadhs
Bhumihars
Doms

The correct answer is Dusadhs.

Dusadhs are a scheduled caste community found in the Indian states of Bihar, Jharkhand, Uttar Pradesh, and Madhya Pradesh. They are traditionally associated with the craft of wood-carving.

Dusadhs are a very diverse community, with a wide range of occupations. However, wood-carving is one of the most common occupations among Dusadhs. They are known for their intricate and beautiful wood carvings, which are used in a variety of objects, including furniture, religious idols, and decorative items.

The art of wood-carving is passed down from generation to generation among Dusadhs. Children learn the skills from their parents and grandparents, and they often start working as wood-carvers at a young age.

Wood-carving is a very important part of Dusadh culture. It is a way for them to express their creativity and to make a living. It is also a way for them to connect with their past and to preserve their traditions.
