Textiles of North-East India 2026 Desk Calendar

Textiles from North-East India are known for their intricate fabrics, unique motifs, and traditional weaving techniques. Inspired by nature and everyday life, these designs reflect the culture, beliefs, and identity of each community. Every group has its own weaving style with distinct colours, patterns, and materials. These woven motifs carry deep meaning and vary across the region - telling stories of ancestry, rituals, and the rhythms of daily life. Passed down through generations, weaving here is not just a craft but a way of life - a quiet act of resilience and pride.

With over 53% of India’s looms and more than half of its weavers, the North-East plays a vital role in preserving the country's rich handloom heritage. We have graphically adopted the woven language of North-East textiles - their forms, patterns, and symbols. Each notebook is a quiet tribute to the spirit, beauty, and craftsmanship of the region’s rich textile traditions.
