KALĀVILĀSA
ABOUT
Dhurries are traditional handwoven flat-weave rugs of India. The artisans working with Kalāvilāsa weave exquisite punja dhurries, which are the most sophisticated among the different kinds of dhurries. Built to last, they epitomize slow fashion with a life of at least 20 years. Started in 2012, Kalāvilāsa (a Sanskrit word which means “joy of arts'') is the brand of Forum for Rural Weavers, a not-for-profit company working towards the upliftment of artisans in central India.
ARTISANAL HOME DECOR FROM INDIA
Cotton punja dhurries are cool under the feet during summers and provide warmth in the winters, and the wool punja dhurries look elegant in the formal spaces. Kalavilasa always uses natural fibres in the dhurries designed and produced by it. In addition, woven cotton cushion covers are made using repurposed cotton punja dhurries.
ARTISANS
The artisans working with Kalāvilāsa belong to underserved communities living in the region. Most of them double up as farmers, mostly as sharecroppers. Weaving provides them cash, while farming helps them with grains. The talented artisans work with amazing precision, and weave geometrically perfect motifs on the dhurries.

Thank you! I could not be happier with my two new rugs! To be able to select the design, color and size- this is absolutely golden to me. Of equal value is your responsiveness and attention to detail, especially under my tight timeframe. Kudos to Kalavilasa's remarkable craftspeople for your inspired work and to Vivek, for your aspirations to keep traditions alive. Gratitude and best wishes!

.
Hatwa, the village where our artisans weave dreams into reality, is nestled north of the Sone River in the lush, serene Kaimur Hills.✨🏡
With its fertile soil and rain-fed farming, the village faces limited employment options, pushing many young men to migrate for work. Kalavilasa's mission is to promote the traditional craft of Punja weaving and uplift Hatwa’s residents by bringing more opportunities to the community. By employing local weavers and preserving their cultural heritage, we aim to foster a sustainable future for this serene village, keeping its rich traditions alive🌸☁️

'punja' is a metallic claw-like tool used to pack weft yarns. This ancient weaving technique has remained unchanged for centuries. Though the process is slow, the vibrant colors, geometric designs, and sturdy flat-weaves make it worthwhile.✨🌸
Weavers follow a design on paper, skillfully inserting dyed yarn between warp threads to create a reversible pattern. Every kalavilasa Dhurrie and cushion covers are made using the punja weaving technique. Visit www.kalavilasa.com for more info.
