The Khasi Handloom & Straw Weaving Festival is held every year in Mawphlang and is a must-visit for those who wish to immerse themselves in the culture of the Khasis.
The weavers we see here are all women, and this is their opportunity to show off their latest designs and offer something distinctive from what can be found elsewhere in Kolkata or Delhi. Everything on sale at the festival is unique and handmade, with women painting their own patterns onto the cotton cloth.
