Andhra Pradesh: To Modi, with love, from Dharmavaram

His admiration for Prime Minister Narendra Modi inspired a Dharmavaram-based weaver-cum-designer to create a wall hanging with pure silk thread in which the Prime Minister is seen sitting in ‘Dhyanamudra’.

With a desire to do something different with his handloom, the weaver, named Jujaru Nagaraju, who was in the news three months ago for his 60-m-long, 44-inch-wide sari with ‘Rama Koti’ inscribed on it, yet again did the community proud by creating a unique four-coloured wall hanging.

Supported by the Hyderabad-based Khadi and Village Industries Commission, the handloom weaver created the 30-inch-long and 34-inch-wide piece with the help of three others, working on it for close to a month.
