Kaithal Handloom Cotton Weaving Traditional

Kaithal has a tradition of handloom cotton weaving among Julaha and Khatri weaver communities who produce cotton dhotar fabric, khes double-cloth, and plain weave cotton on pit looms for household and wholesale use. Kaithal's handloom cooperative supplies the Haryana Handloom and Textile Corporation and participates in craft melas organised by the state for marketing its traditional woven goods. The weaving tradition in Kaithal connects to the Haryana plain's cotton agricultural base, where locally grown cotton is spun and woven in cottage industries that supplement farm income.
