Indian Art Directors are some of the most dedicated, resourceful, and creative you are likely to find anywhere in the world. Its a bit like working with Mac Gyver or the A-Team. Couple this with a plentiful supply of reasonably priced labour and your set can be built quickly and well within budget. Some of the materials may be different to those you might usually work with but the local teams can fashion pretty much anything you want from them.

India's markets, bazaars, handicraft emporiums, factories, textile manufacturers, and export warehouses are excellent places to source props. You can guarantee your local Art Director will have a few tricks up their sleeve as well.
