Tangaliya textile craft
In a recent podcast of WTF, Nikhil Kamath, paired a tangaliya shirt with handspun denim trousers.
Tangaliya is an indigenous weaving craft in which extra yarns in contrast colours are knotted around the yarns of the fabric during the weaving process to create embossed bead-like patterns. Each bead or dana, as its locally called, lends itself to creating the whole motif, which is seen clearly on both sides of the fabric.
