Sitalpati or cool mats are utilitarian items crafted from green canes, hand-woven skilfully. Sitalpati mats are crafted from green cane slips of Maranta Dichotoma or muthra reed, which are split into fine slices lengthwise. Though the sleeping or sitting mat is still the main product of Sitalpati, the artisans also make bags, folders, hats, mobile covers, coasters, panels, lampshades and other home décor items, pieces of jewellery, with pati.
