Gopalpur Tassar Handloom Weavers Producer Company Limited

We are located at the house of Govinda Das in Prathamakhandi, which is in the Dharmasala area of Jajpur. Our official name is Gopalpur Tassar Handloom Weavers Producer Company Limited. As you can tell by the name, we are all about handlooms and Tassar silk. This is a tradition in our area, and many families have been doing this for generations. We aren't some big factory with machines. We use our hands and the old ways of weaving. It takes a lot of time and patience. Govinda Das has provided the space for us to gather and work together. Jajpur is a place with a lot of history, and we feel like we are part of it. The 755008 pincode is our little corner of Orissa. Every morning, the sound of the looms starts up. It’s a rhythm we all know by heart. We don’t have a marketing department or a fancy website. We just have our weavers and their skills. Sometimes we worry about the younger generation not wanting to learn the craft, but for now, we are still going strong. The work is hard on the eyes and the back, but seeing the finished fabric makes it worth it. We just sell what we make and hope it’s enough to keep the looms moving. It’s a quiet life, mostly focused on the threads and the patterns.
