Gujarat: Tribal Women Make Rakhis Using Bamboo In Dang District Ahead Of Rakshabandhan

As India celebrates Raksha Bandhan on 22 August, tribal women residing in the Dang district of Gujarat have embarked on a unique venture. They are showcasing some custom handmade Rakhi's using bamboo. A scholar from the Aga Khan Foundation and a member of the project, Antik Malik, said that he has been a part of the project for a year. He said that the group were supplying the Rakhi's across India and they made the Rakhi's traditionally just like the Ktwalia community. This has been particularly beneficial for upgrading the skills of the workers, he added.
