This blog is entitled to preach the ecstasies of 3 simple fundamentals of modern life.This is the place for people who worship our age old enchanting textiles,yearn crazily for long or short trips at any given point of time and never fail to impress with their "Isshtyle".IN SHORT, this space is dedicated to all those impulsive people who have heroically abandoned the stereotypical life for the banned extremities of society.

Beauty of tradition-The Rabha affair
Rabha is a little-known Scheduled Tribe community of Assam.The Rabhas
belong to the Indo Mongoloid group of people and have similarities with
other members of Bodo group such as Garos, Kachari, Mech, Koch, Hajong
and others.The traditional economy of the Rabhas in general, is based on
agriculture, forest based activities and weaving.Weaving is a
traditional occupation of the Rabha women.The speciality of rabha
textile is the extremely intricate extra warp and extra weft brocading
woven skillfully without any jacquard or dobby technique-a true
marvel!!
We start with an earnest effort of supporting the Rabha
weavers with our collection of pure cotton handwoven stoles and fabrics
....elegant texturing,excellent drapability and extreme comfort!!!
the extremely basic loom-while setting the loom before weaving....placed in the courtyard |
