Kaarigari - Episode 1: Extra Weft Durries | Bhuj

In the premiere episode of our micro documentary series ‘Kaarigari’, we travel to Kutch to witness the extraordinary art of Extra Weft Durries and Shawls weaving in Bhuj.

Behind every craft that flourishes, there is a will that refuses to let it fade.
This story is of Master weaver Babu Bhai who opens the doors to a world where every motif, every pattern, and every thread is shaped by hand, just as it has been for generations.

For eleven generations, his family has lived by the rhythm of the loom. But preserving a legacy is never easy.

A story of grit, faith, and the quiet determination to ensure that what has been passed down through centuries continues to find its place in the future.
