Summary[edit]

Description
English: These two beautiful women make Nepal's traditional Dhaka fabric in a workshop behind their house. The daughter is studying to be a teacher but still weaves in her spare time after class. The father originally bought the family's looms in India and then made the punch hole cards to generate the traditional patterns found in Dhaka cloth.

In many parts of central Nepal, women weave Dhaka fabric in their spare time. Traditionally it originates with the Limbu people of eastern Nepal, who don't used a punch-card loom, seen here. Now-a-days Dhaka fabric is used mainly for sewing "topi", the traditional Nepali men's hat. It used to be more commonly used also for making men's vests and women's blouses (a dhaka-ko-cholo).

Español: Dos mujeres nepalesas hacen tejido tradicional Dhaka en un taller en su casa. En muchas partes de Nepal Central, mujeres tejan tela en su tiempo libre. Tradicionalmente, la práctica origina de la gente Limbu de Nepal Oriental pero no usaba un telar como se muestra aquí. Actualmente, el tejido Dhaka se usa para hacer "topi", un sombrero tradicional de hombres nepaleses. También solía ser más común a utilizarlo para el hecho de chalecos de hombres y de blusas de mujeres.

Polski: Dwie kobiety tkające tradycyjną nepalską tkaninę dhaka w warsztacie na tyłach ich domu. W wielu częściach centralnego Nepalu kobiety tkają dhakę w wolnym czasie. Tkanina pochodzi od ludu Limbu ze wschodniego Nepalu, który jednak nie używał krosen, tak jak to widać na filmie. W dzisiejszych czasach dhaka jest wykorzystywana głównie do szycia topi, tradycyjnego nakrycia głowy nepalskich mężczyzn. Kiedyś była też powszechnie wykorzystywana do produkcji męskich kamizelek oraz damskich bluzek (tzw. dhaka-ko-cholo)
