Textile weaving has been the ancient seasonal activity for women in Nepal which can be proved by the written history of Chinese traveler Hiuen Tsian in 629 A.D. who had recorded that “newly born Buddha was wrapped in golden colored cotton vestment….” The 3,000 year old textile technique still continues within various communities with their own weaving patterns.
