About the Craft: The intricately woven Kotpad textiles are made using hand-spun cotton yarn which is treated with a backbreaking, month-long dyeing process even before being made into a fabric. The dyes are extracts of the Aal tree barks and the shades used are dramatic reds, maroons, rusty pinks, coffee browns and deep blacks. In his own words “To weave a chunni (dupatta) it would take a week, and a sari, a month.” He has fulfilled numerous orders from boutiques, buyers, online shops and has participated in over 600 exhibitions till date – at Delhi, Mumbai, Hyderabad, Chennai, Kolkata and many other cities.
