short description
Traditions laced with history can still be seen in the rich handloom traditions practiced by indigenous people in Arunachal Pradesh, specifically in Adi tribe. For them, textile crafts include an impressive maroon textile scarf among others. This piece is beautifully woven in maroon color with a border consisting of yellow stripes and a blossoming floral band at the ends. It is a functional and symbolic costume ornament.
This thread is a beautiful hand-weaving by Adi women using a traditional backstrap loom-an age-old technique that has transcended generations. Maroon means strength and pride for their culture, and yellow stripes along the border mean harmony and prosperity. The floral motifs at the ends represent the abundance and beauty of nature reflecting the closeness of the Adi people with their environment.
This textile scarf forms a part of daily wear and has also played a significant role in various traditional ceremonies and dances within the community during celebrations. The ADIs continue with their traditions of weaving as it is very much alive despite the cultural changes that the people have undergone in terms of lifestyle. Efforts to mainstream the Adi handwoven scarf into broader markets while promoting sustainable and indigenous craftsmanship are happening now.
