Eye-opener
I am amazed to know about looms and the work that goes into them. I have no words to describe how unaware I was of how cloth is made. And to get a look at one of the finest techniques is surreal. Thanks Roobaroo, so true to your name.
Beautiful work
This experience was amazing. There was no pressure to shop, just free interaction and learning of what goes into a loom and how the business functions. But I did shop a lot as it was one opportunity to buy authentic weave. There must be a lot of places in Varanasi to buy the weaves but it’s always confusing. I was well informed of why a certain thing is priced so.
