Namada




Namada is a handmade woolen felt originating from Gujarat. These are mostly made by a community of shepherds called Dangaria, who handle the whole process from the production of raw wool to the making of the final product.

Namadas can be used either as a decorative floor covering or as a wall hanging. They contain elegant images of animals, birds and human being, which give them the added attractiveness and liveliness.
