Handloom


Handloom is one of our prides. When a woman wears a handloom sari, she looks like a true Bengalee. But today the western culture has replaced many of our age-old traditions. Our handmade things are no longer that attractive to most of the people.

But the western culture has too many negative things which society should be aware of. No self-respecting nation has ever discarded anything that belongs to its culture. But we are oblivious of what this nation once had. Some rethinking is needed in this area.
