Khorahi




Khorahi is a basket-like object made from bamboo strips. Although shaped like a basket, it is used for washing rice, vegetables, fish and other similar food items.

Since it is woven from bamboo strips, it contains gaps, which lets water and dirt to pass through. It is square shaped during the making process, but is gradually rounded using cane strips, which are stitched onto it.
