Jaipur Rugs Artisan Series K20 Mix Area Rug

Seated at one of the looms situated in the courtyard outside of her neighbor Lali Devis home, Shakuntala and her fellow female weavers, draped in brightly colored yellow and orange dupatta, work together to create a carpet using their own design.

We made these motifs as they came to mind. Shakuntala took the lead, and we followed. Starting with stripes of color for the background, we then inserted the individual motifs: flowers and paan (betel) leaves, kitchen items and foodstuffs. Images from the local scenery, a peacock and the mountain, were also added.

All four women began weaving out of necessity to help provide for therir families, but it also gives them a creative outlet to display aspects of their collective identity as Indian women living in the small Rajasthani village of Udaipuriya. The national tree of India, the banyan tree, sits opposite to the national bird of India, the peacock, walking along the base of the local mountain. A bamboo chavad used for cleaning rice lies among small matkis, clay pots used to keep water cool even in the harsh desert summer.
