Charaka Handloom Weavers Producer Company Limited

Charaka Handloom Weavers Producer Company Limited is located on Kottagudda Road in Acchammahalli. We are right there at Gangadhara Balaji’s house. This area of Y N Hosakote has always had people who know how to work a loom. We decided to form this company so we wouldn't be at the mercy of the big city traders. It is much better when we work together. We share the cost of the yarn and help each other when someone’s loom breaks down. Our days are filled with the steady rhythm of the weaving. It’s a bit noisy if you aren't used to it, but to us, it’s just the sound of work. We don't have a showroom with bright lights. The cloth is usually stacked up in the back room until it’s time to move it. Charaka Handloom Weavers Producer Company Limited is about keeping our skills alive. We teach the younger ones when they are willing to learn. Gangadhara Balaji handles the phone calls and the visitors at the Kottagudda Road spot. It is a humble place, just like the work we do. We don't use any synthetic stuff if we can help it. If you come by Acchammahalli, you can see what we are doing. We are just a group of weavers trying to make a fair living from our craft. Our hands are busy from morning until night making quality cloth for the people. It is a slow process but we like it.
