Ethnic Textile Traditional Dhaka Weaving by Limbu Women

[iampeeay01]

Very impressive... I wonder how many crafts would they finish in a day... :)

[vickiksandoval]

That is extraordinary. I don't have the patience or time to warp so many strings in my loom and to weave so little weft per hour. Thank you for sharing this, and for the weaving lesson! Just amazing!

amazing wow so so incredible

[lolnepal]

thanks for showing this close shots. Many don't know how much toil gets into creating a rug that they have beautifully placed in their house. Hard work Equals = Quality. Nepal produces some of the finest Textiles.

Thank you Dilpia for sending me this video.

Be well you all

this is very hard work

@thunderstruck1341,

Textiles are believed to date from pre-historic times evidence of weaving being traced to a period before 3000 B.C. in the earliest civilizations of India, China and Mesopotamia. In Nepal, the indigenous Rai & Limbu ethnic group (Kirat) have been practicing this trade for over 5000+ years now. Some historians and scholars have already pointed out that Kirat used to meet Chinese at Yangtze valley between 1000 BCE and 500 BCE for trade, cultural and business purposes.

@diliprai stop commenting things that aren't relevant to this video. kirat rai have different type of textile. their textile are completely different its lighter than the limbu ones. this particular textile belongs to limbus not all kiratis. let me give you a example

dances

chandi dance=rai

syander sili=sunuwar

ke lang = limbu

see every kirati clans has different culture and this particular culture belongs to limbu people.

[elamjung]

Keep it up!

[diliprai]

@elamjung In Nepal, the indigenous Rai & Limbu ethnic group (Kirat) have been practicing this trade for over 5000+ years now. The Kirat nationalities don't get much support from the government as a result it is difficult for them to make a living doing their traditional Dhaka weaving, and they have to make a living through other means. With that Dhaka is in danger of dying out especially when new generations Nepalese do not appreciate this art and trade.

[YvesIsaki]

Good... Good.

[EGCblackknight]

how long does it take to make about a yard of that fabric? is it silk

[chadasansar]

sksha its really a good collection of limbus people living in eastern part of nepal.........its proves that the limbus people were really civilized..so keep on uploading this kind of videos which will help to save our culter............

[diliprai]

the weaving of fabrics goes back to Kiratas civilizations.

Kiratas civilizations is 5069 as of 2009.

In ancient Hindu Scriptures, Nepal is referred as the "Kirat Desh" or "the Land of Kirats". Kirats were indigenous people of Mongolian origin with stout and short stature, high cheek bones, flat noses, narrow black eyes and thin mustaches and beards.

Hope we will continue to keep our heritage alive.

Jai Kiratas

@diliprai hi dilip ji what i understand kiraati is not the religion is only culture and tradition. in this world every peaple god given choice but peaple started believe in otherway round and mix up with culture and tradition. in a christinity thare is no culture,tradition no high low cast no black or white. god never look your face look your internel behaves you should have to be change whatever believe. our culture we have to keep one side and keep our traditon thanks

[diliprai]

@adamlimbu, In order that this traditional will continue to exist in next decade and beyond, a small group of weavers has formed a fair trade cooperative called SiD Nepal or Society for Indigenous Development Nepal. Hopefully by having such society, this tradition of weaving dhaka would be preserved. But the new generation Nepalese must appreciate the artiste value and effort to learn this trade if dhaka weaving is to continue into next century.

[Chrisiant]

Brilliant. Amazing work, and I am in awe of the skill shown here.
