Mother Weaving Maring Traditional Basket at Mashoukhu |
|
This likhai-size basket is very popular. It costs about 140-150 rupees nowadays. My mother used to wake up early and then sleep late at night, is busy weaving bamboo baskets. She has been in this profession for several years. She took up the profession especially after my dad's death in 2001. Most of the times, she can weave a basket a day; sometimes, she can finish two baskets a day. In this way, she lent her support to me, especially in my studies.
