short description
Rooted in a patch of culture, Adi tribe of Arunachal Pradesh exhibits intricate weaving traditions. One of their textiles is the chequered having geometric designs signifying their excellence in artwork as well as identity. Traditionally, these are hand woven on loin looms using cotton or wool inspired by nature, folklore, and tribal beliefs.
The designs are characteristic diamonds, zigzags, and linear motifs, all symbolically referring to their connection to an environment. Chequered is a distinct feature usually found in garments like shawls, skirts, and wraps worn during festivals and daily lives. Bright colors produced from natural dyes create the eye-catching appearance of Adi textiles, signaling a rich culture.
Much of the weaving work is left to the Adi women, who pass the generational skill and wisdom to the next generation in order to ensure such rich tradition continues. Modernization fails to steal such glory that still exists in the community through textile craftsmanship, which is part of their social and cultural identity. The clothes stand as a fashion for the Adi but also speak of the identity, artistry, and endurance they carry to preserve the history.
