Purulia Sabai originates from Mirgichami, nestled within the dense forests of Purulia, West Bengal. Dipali Mura collaborates with a small group of artisans to create handcrafted Sabai grass home utility and decor products. Within this village, artisans intertwine Purulia Sabai grass and palm leaves to craft a diverse array of products.
Purpose
Purulia Sabai actively empowers village women while aiding the small village Mirgichami, nestled within Purulia's dense forest. Collaborating with craftsmen, they go through the intricate process—from harvesting to rope and braid making, followed by dyeing—before crafting the final products, thus making a significant impact. The women within the village weave storage containers, wall plates, home decor, and home utility products. Purulia differs from the other Sabai weaving products as artisans intertwine the Sabai grass with palm leaves to make all the products.
People
Purulia Sabai is dedicated to empowering rural women in the small village of Mirgichami, nestled within Purulia district's dense forest. Due to water scarcity and limited agricultural land, cultivation alone isn't sufficient as the primary income source. Instead, they support local weavers and artisans, essential bearers of our heritage, motivating future generations to uphold and advance these crafts. Through Sabai grass weaving and crafting home utility baskets, women in the village are gaining independence, elevating these crafts to a commercial level.
Planet
Purulia Sabai serves as a cornerstone in promoting the ecological welfare of our planet by ingeniously fashioning home utility and decorative pieces using the plentiful Sabai grass indigenous to the area. Their unwavering dedication to sustainability resonates in each meticulously crafted item, epitomizing the seamless fusion of natural resources and human innovation—a testament not only to their craftsmanship but also to their unwavering commitment to environmental guardianship. Their creations not only showcase creativity but also embody a profound respect for our ecosystem's delicate balance.
