Palwal Handloom Cotton Weaving Yamuna District

Contributed by Swadesi Editorial Team

Palwal district's handloom sector maintains traditional cotton khes and dhotar weaving in villages where Muslim Julaha weaver families have practised pit-loom weaving for generations, producing reversible double-cloth fabric used for sleeping sheets, tablecloths, and rough towels. The handloom cooperative in Palwal coordinates with the Haryana Handloom Corporation for raw material supply and marketing, providing weavers with an institutional channel alongside the direct village market. Palwal's handloom weavers participate in district craft fairs and supply Delhi NCR craft retailers who seek authentic handwoven cotton as a sustainable textile choice.
