 India has a rich and diverse tapestry of textile traditions that tell captivating tales of culture, history, and craftsmanship. Each thread, each motif, and each color in Indian textiles unravels a story of tradition, skill, and the enduring spirit of creativity. These textile tales not only adorn the people but also connect them to a rich cultural heritage that spans centuries.

She studies the subject from resources at the Victoria and Albert Museum Academy, National Art Library, and the British Library in London. She has been on several handloom and handicrafts trails across India, meeting artisans and documenting their crafts. Pritha grew up in Kolkata and now works as a gynecologist in London.Copyright 2023 Podone Social Sciences
