    Color sticks are made by ‘Chapada’. Chapada is a glue that is derived from natural resources like a tree. It comes from the secretion of insects. It harvests four times a year. Mostly, It comes from Bengal and Bihar. India is the largest producer of lacquer. Craftsmen buy lacquer from Bengal.

    Lacquer is melted using burning coal and resin will be put on the Chapada which helps the lacquer to melt quickly. Once the lacquer is properly melted, titanium dioxide, pearl and different chemical colours are added to it. After this, long sticks of lacquer are made and then cut into small pieces.
