Let's work together to keep the conversation civil. Now Reading: 01 /11 Significance of National Handloom Day India will celebrate the 10th National Handloom Day on August 7. On this day in 1905, India formally launched the Swadeshi movement in Kolkata.
This movement emphasized India’s commitment to accepting products made in India by our local artisans rather than buying products manufactured and exported from Britain. This movement was devised to punch a hole in the pockets of Great Britain, who were killing the local manufacturing business to promote their own cheap products. Handlooms have been a symbol of resistance and perseverance of Indian culture that refused to die in the face of modern and cheaper products.
This year, the theme of National Handloom Day 2024 focuses on the integration of technology and innovation to promote the Indian handloom industry. On this occasion, we have curated a list of handloom sarees that are a must-have in your wardrobe. These sarees are not only a cultural symbol but also ooze luxury and elegance.
