PREFACE You haven‘t puzzled out Any of the Weaver‘s secret: It took Him A mere moment To stretch out the whole universe On His loom. He fashioned His loom

Out of the Earth and sky He plied the sun and moon simultaneously As His twin shuttle ……Kabir says, I have smashed my loom: Only the Weaver can mesh threads with threads.... As Shabad 36 in Raga Asa says about the weavers and their devotion for weaving and the weavers we met with were from Begampur, West Bengal. The journey and experience of the cluster was unexpectedly remarkable and fruitful. The area was nature friendly. The locality was enriched with craft, tradition and craftsmanship. It was so influential that we easily

got involved in the environment. A four day excursion and primary and secondary data is compiled in this documentation. We worked there as a group of six members to gather information and observed the weaving process.
