This fascinating map of fabrics in India was tweeted by the Bollywood star Amitabh Bachchan. It brought back memories of me visiting a village near the Nandi Hills outside Bangalore in 1994 ... the village homes were built round silk weaving looms. They would grow mulberry bushes for the silk worms ..spin the silk and work on designs of sarees.. The land was fertile with amazing fruit and vegetables crops. I remember a very agile 80yr old man insisting to climb up a coconut tree to get me fresh coconut. Amazing. The grapes will never seen such large bunches of grapes. The land prices rocketed after Bangalore airport became international. I have found a youtube on making sarees not that I recognise from the village I visited but the process the same. It must be from the state of Karnataka as I see the writing script at the beginning of the film is in Kanada the language of the state. Bangalore is the capital city of Karnataka.
