Stories of Artisans and the Weaving Process
Share
Inside the heart of Bihar’s looms lies a story of tradition, skill, and soul.
🪔 The Soul Behind the Fabric
Every thread woven in Bihar carries generations of untold stories — of calloused hands, of family traditions, and of cultural pride. From the bylanes of Bhagalpur to the villages of Madhubani, artisans sit by their looms with quiet precision, transforming cotton and silk into vibrant heritage.
These are not just weavers — they are keepers of tradition.
🌾 Bhagalpur: The Silk City and the Home of Dull Chadars
In Bhagalpur, weaving isn’t just a job — it’s a way of life. Artisans here have been perfecting the technique of handloom weaving for centuries. One of the region’s most beloved products is the Bhagalpuri Dull Chadar — a lightweight, cotton wrap perfect for summer nights.

Each chadar is handwoven using wooden looms, often passed down from generation to generation. The process involves:
-
Washing & softening the cotton yarns
-
Dyeing them using age-old natural techniques
-
Threading the loom with mathematical precision
-
And then — weaving magic, line by line
🧶 A Day in the Life of an Artisan
Meet Ram Prasad, a 62-year-old weaver from Nathnagar, Bhagalpur. He starts his day at 5 AM, spinning yarns and aligning warp threads on his ancestral loom. His son, a 23-year-old graduate, now helps him modernize parts of their production for e-commerce.
“We never imagined people across India would buy our chadars online,” he smiles.
Now, thanks to platforms like Crafts of Bihar, the world can feel the texture of their efforts.
