When we weave perfection getting yarn deep into designing, it reflects the perfection and dedication of the craftsmanship.
Let’s promote what requires lot of patience, perseverance, hard work and results into a weaving legacy.
To celebrate this hard work and beauty of handlooms Government declared 7thAugust as @NationalHandloomDay.
August 7 marks National Handloom Day every year in India. The birth of the Swadeshi Movement was a momentous event in India’s handloom story. The Swadeshi Movement which was launched on 7th August 1905, encouraged indigenous industries and in particular handloom weavers.
It turned out to be a symbol of Indian resistance with handloom fabrics adopted as the preferred attire and the ‘charkha’ used on the flag during Swadeshi Movement.
In 2015, the Government of India decided to designate the 7th August every year, as the National Handloom Day. The first National Handloom Day was inaugurated on 7 August 2015 by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Chennai.
We at StoryScrapers decided to celebrate it on our platform in an unique way asking our clan of writers to post their pictures in the beautiful Sarees, shawls and kurtas ( Men/ women ) and also asked everyone to mention the kind of handloom they own and also the state it belongs to.
Let’s celebrate the grace and beauty of our country. Jai Hindi, Jai Bharat.
