An Exhibition On Khadi, 2023

Mahatma Gandhi's relationship with khadi was profound. He saw khadi, a hand-spun and hand-woven fabric, as a symbol of self-reliance and independence. Gandhi promoted the use of khadi as a means to empower rural communities, reduce poverty, and resist British colonial economic exploitation. His advocacy for khadi was integral to India's freedom movement, embodying his vision of self-sufficiency and non-violent resistance. 


Khadi, a traditional heritage textile of India, holds a cherished place in the nation's cultural tapestry. Woven from hand-spun yarn, khadi has been an integral part of Indian history for centuries. Its roots trace back to the ancient Indus Valley Civilization, and it gained prominence during India's struggle for independence under Mahatma Gandhi's leadership. Today, khadi stands as a symbol of India's rich textile heritage, embodying craftsmanship, sustainability, and a connection to the country's cultural roots. Its continued popularity showcases the enduring legacy of this timeless fabric in modern India.


Khadi, in its essence, represents simplicity and self-reliance. Hand-spun and handwoven by skilled artisans, it carries a unique charm that sets it apart from machine-made fabrics. This exhibition showcases the diverse range of Khadi, including traditional hand-spun variants and contemporary mill-made options. Visitors will witness how Khadi's timeless appeal seamlessly integrates with modern sensibilities.
