Mela means “Carnival”. Carnivals evoke a riot of color and a flood of childhood memories. For us, at Samoolam, the essence of life lies in color and practicality, so we’ve designed these handmade pieces to be feather-light and easy to maintain. Go ahead and embrace the colorful child within by adding a dash of color to your world.

About Artisan:

The initiative employs and empower over 130 rural women in Gaya.

About Craft:
Crochet is process of interlocking yarn and thread using a crochet (meaning hook) to create textile and objects. The first substantive evidence of crocheted fabric emerges in Europe during the 19th century. The craft was brought to India in the early 20th century by a missionary couple from Scotland and expanded across India, mostly by women, to create religious prayer rugs and caps as well as aesthetic and daily life products.
