Handloom Weaving

The Freedom Textile of India

Long before industrial mills, India’s textiles were woven by hand. From the looms of Varanasi and Kanchipuram to the weavers of Bengal and Kutch, every thread reflected generations of skill. The cottons of the Deccan, silks of the South, and muslins of Bengal were once prized. During India’s freedom movement, Gandhi’s charkha turned spinning and weaving into symbols of self-reliance

With its unmatched detail and integrity, handloom weaving continues to define India’s place in the world of handmade textiles.
