Manga Devi Handlooms And Handicrafts Producer Company Limited

Our place, Manga Devi Handlooms and Handicrafts, is right near the bus stand in Puttapaka. If you are coming through Narayanpur, you can’t really miss it. It is at H No 7-12. Being so close to the bus stand means there is always a lot of noise and people walking by. Inside, things are a bit different. It’s mostly the sound of looms and people working with their hands. We focus on traditional weaving and making things that take a lot of time and patience. It’s not like a big factory with massive machines. It is much more personal than that. A lot of the people working here have lived in this village their whole lives and learned these skills from their parents. We have stacks of thread and finished pieces sitting around on the shelves. Sometimes the colors are really bright and fill up the room. We don’t really have a big marketing team or anything like that. We just show up, sit at the looms, and get to work. People often stop in when they are waiting for their bus to have a look at what we are making. It’s a simple setup, just a few rooms and the workspace. We try to keep the old ways going because that’s what we know. It is hard work on the eyes and the back, but it's what we do here in Puttapaka. Every piece we finish feels like a small win for our little company.
