Bhavani Jamakalam

This traditional cotton blanket from the Bhavani district of Tamil Nadu emerged as a response to the British competition in the late nineteenth century. The Jangamar weaver community in Bhavani produce these 'jamakalams' using coarse coloured threads.

This is a traditional carpet made by the Bhavani weavers with the typical bright coloured bands in blue, red, yellow and green. The colours in the contributor's carpet have faded over time due to continuous use.
