India’s Handloom sector is a symbol of our glorious cultural heritage and is an important source of livelihood in the country.

The first National Handloom Day was held on 7th August 2015 by Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi. On this day, the handloom weaving community is honoured and their contribution to the socio-economic development of the country is highlighted, and the resolve to protect our handloom heritage and to empower the handloom weavers and workers with greater opportunities is reaffirmed.

Let us, together, ensure the sustainable development of the handloom sector by supporting our handloom weavers and workers for their exquisite craftsmanship.

As we approach National Handloom Day, we invite you to come forward & support the Handloom weavers/artists by sharing your photos or videos wearing or using Handloom products. The best pictures and videos will get featured at MyGov – the world’s biggest citizen engagement platform.

Go ahead, show your support to our glorious heritage!

Kota Doria originated in erstwhile Mysore, the weave gained prominence when Rao Kishore Singh, a general in the Mughal Army brought the weavers to Rajasthan during Shahjahan’s reign. These weaver families then settled in Kaithun village of Kota district in Rajasthan and began weaving zari (real silver/gold coated wires) in square patterns (called Khat) with a combination of cotton and silk making it one of the finest open weave fabrics in India. It is also popularly known as Masuria Malmal.
