WEAVING HOPE
FOR BODO TRIBAL WOMEN

Aagor, a Bodo word meaning “motifs”or “design” , not just has its rural connect in the name, but also in its craftswomen and administration. Aagor involves over a hundred women weavers, largely from the Bodo tribe of Assam. Holding on to the traditional motifs that are inspired from nature such as daorai mekhrep or wink of a peacock, dinkhiya or fern, kasau bikha or chest of a turtle – some of the best designers collaborate with rural weavers to bring out fashionable outfits with strong traditional designs.
