Tantuvi
Smriti Morarka initiated ‘Tantuvi’ (1993) which means ‘Weaver’ in sanskrit as an attempt to revive weaving traditions of Benares. She embarked upon a well thought out correction process by altering the maladies that had crept into this section while making adaptations and keeping the modern weaver in mind.
‘Tantuvi’ endeavors to provide a platform where the younger generation of the weaving community may learn with enthusiasm, from the elders, the method of the old and with pride, may make, weaving their preferred vocation.
