Sri Chowdeswari Devi Handloom Producer Company Limited

We are located over at 5/151 on Katlatapalli Road in Venkateswara Puram. This is in Madanapalle, which is part of Chittoor district here in Andhra Pradesh. Sri Chowdeswari Devi Handloom Producer Company Limited is the name on our papers. The road outside can get pretty dusty when the trucks go by, but inside it is mostly just the sound of the handlooms. We have been doing this for a while now. It is a group effort since we are a producer company. A lot of local families are involved in what we do. We spend our mornings sorting out the thread and setting up the looms for the day. It is a lot of manual work and your back starts to ache after a few hours, but we are used to it by now. The building is simple and we don't bother with much decoration. We just need enough light to see what we are weaving. Sometimes the neighbors come by to chat while we are working. Madanapalle is a decent place to be, even if it gets really warm in the afternoons. We try to get most of the heavy work done before the sun gets too high. There are always piles of finished cloth sitting around waiting to be moved. We just take things one day at a time and try to keep the looms moving.
