First Thing 
What is Rice Grain and What we do with a rice grain?
You can feed it to the pigeon, Parrot, Squirrel.
You can take a bite too when it raw.

The bamboo silvers are dipped in a turmeric water and kept in sun for dry and more flexible. Then the crafts man sit to fold and coil the rice sticks into various forms and objects.
