]]> Kotpad handloom weaving is a century-old textile tradition that originated in a small weaving village called ‘Kotpad’ in the Koraput district of Odisha.

These textiles are woven by the Panka, Mirga and Manikpuria community in the southern areas of Chhattisgarh and Odisha.

]]> Saree weaving in Amarchinta has always been a cherished name among Telugu women. It is not just a place, it is a rhythm of life, woven into every field, every loom, and every story told under the shade of an old tamarind tree. Located in Telangana’s Wanaparthy district, Amarchinta may appear quiet on the map, but it resounds deeply in the memories of those who have lived within. Here, craft is not merely an occupation; it is a way of life, passed gently from palm to palm, from elder to child, more as a natural habit than as a proclaimed heritage.

]]> Ashawali Brocade, woven in silk and hailing from the heart of Ahmedabad, Gujarat, carries with it a name that echoes through the corridors of time, tracing its origins back thousands of years. The very essence of its name, Ashawali, finds its roots in the history of a bygone era, under the reign of King Ashapalli. According to historical documents, Karna (r. c. 1064–1092 CE), a monarch from the Chaulukya (Solanki) dynasty in Gujarat, is lauded for his triumph over a Bhil chief from Ashapalli. This victory marked the establishment of Karnavati city, further enriching the cultural tapestry of the region

]]> The Kunbi saree was developed by two native tribes of Goa, namely, the Kunbis and the Gawdas. These tribes were mainly farmers who cultivated rice and owned paddy fields. The saree, therefore, is shorter in length and allows women to perform household chores and partake in agricultural work without getting their clothes dirty. This simple garment has gradually changed with time and now its use has declined significantly. Today, it merely serves as a reminder of the culture of tribal groups that lived around the hilly areas in Goa.
