Meeki Ki Mekhla

“I weave your name on the loom of my mind, to clean and soften ten
thousand threads and to comb the twists and knots of my thoughts…”

From Saint Kabir…on intricacies of life similar to woven fabric

NAGALAND

Having spent considerable time in many states of North East India and
especially in Nagaland, I have always felt the need to contribute my bit to
social and economic upliftment of tribal women of this region who are
mainstay of craft activity in this belt. Handicraft and Weaving has always
been the way of life of these people and is closely associated with culture
and traditions of Naga people. Varying motifs, colour and patterns have
symbolic meaning, closely associated with tribal people and their identity.
As asserted by Tabitha Trumy of Indigenous Sisters Heirloom Heritage
(ISHH) “Our folklore and traditions are written in out attires and it is the
women who are the keepers of these legends”
