Begampur Weavers Celebrate Unique Vishwakarma Puja

Begampur Weavers Celebrate Unique Vishwakarma Puja

In a small place called Begampur, people celebrate a special festival called Akal Vishwakarma Puja.

Unlike other places, their god Vishwakarma is shown as a weaver working on a handloom, riding a horse.

The sound of the horse's hooves reminds them of the sound of the handloom.

This year, there are many beautiful decorations and lights.

The weavers are happy because the government helped them.

They now have better tools, materials, and more money for their work.

Many weavers who had stopped working are now back, and they make special saris that people love.

The saris are known by names like naksa and rangabati.
