Sruthi Hariharan Instagram – #ILKAL SERIES – 1 . . “We are proud of who we are. And irrespective of how hard it is – we know of nothing else to do” she said. At 16 she began working the loom . And today at the age of 30, she seems to have no regrets about the work she does. . The weaver community, enjoy a sense of innate freedom. A tranquility of sorts that they get from practising their art form. Watching them weave, feels like they exist within this meditative trance which help them create…to weave the same cloth for many hours that span into days … thread by thread, painstakingly. Lovingly…. . . Patience. Precision. And Pride. She becomes all that and beyond.
