August 7th– Handloom day
The country celebrates Handloom Day on 7th August to salute India’s heritage and truly contemporary fabric. Spun by hand and woven on a simple loom, handlooms reflect the uniquely diverse and aesthetic weaves crafted by artisans in every part of the country. Cool and environmentally sensitive, handlooms leave minimal carbon footprints and mirror the value of the hand and the creative – cultural ethos crafted for centuries and even millennia
