Nagaland is famous for its traditional use of handloom. Many people from several tribes produce textiles using the traditional backstrap loom. Recently, Union Minister of Law and Justice Kiren Rijiju shared a video showing how the people of Nagaland create this fabric.
The video depicts a group of people sitting in a circle and methodically scrubbing and ginning cotton balls. They then make threads from the cleaned cotton using a particular kind of spindle. Lastly, a group of women can be seen transforming these threads into a full fabric. The video also shows several people surrounding the workers and observing them.
In the post's caption, Union Minister Kiren Rijiju wrote, "Extremely proud of our Naga sisters and brothers! Fascinating village in #Nagaland #IncredibleIndia #NorthEast #India."
