#debsaristories #nationalhandloomday #iwearhandloom #isupportweavers #ThankYouIndia ❤ After much contemplating I settled for this Shantiniketan kantha stitch saree today. Did you think i was done with handloom day post? Well,not quite!
🙏 Not until I thank the hands that create magic for us! It shows the greatness of our people and their creativity resulting from their blood and sweat. 🙏 Thankfully, most of my sarees are handloom. I am glad I have been supporting the handloom movement knowingly or unknowingly
🙏 Thankfully, I found it hard to choose between the various weaves. It shows the wealth and richness of our land
🙏 Thankfully, I am educating myself everyday to a new weave, a new technique which otherwise would have been dead by now. It shows I have miles to go.
🙏 Thankfully, through technology and media I am able to collect some of the rare masterpieces which otherwise I would have been ignorant of
🙏 Thankfully, through many patrons, passionists and true patriots, "we the people" are able to connect to "them the weavers". I would have terribly missed the opportunity otherwise
🙏 Thanks to our collective efforts, hopefully some hands somewhere haven't stopped weaving, haven't lost hope, haven't shut looms, haven't starved or extreme step like suicide, haven't given up on humans, haven't stopped making us believe in magic, haven't crushed our beliefs that magic lies in the hands of the creator
Is this enough? Absolutely not, but us a good start at the very least. Today, on the National handloom day I purchased handloom satees from weavers to say the Thank You that my lips couldn't bring courage to utter. Take a moment, pause.
Support the weavers, it would be shameful if these amazing weaves become simply museum art for coming generations to see, it would be shameful if the future generations cannot touch, feel and drape the love and warmth as we do.
I Support Handloom, I Support Weavers. Do you?
