Murji Hamir (father)
My father used to weave for the Rabari Community, their traditional wear items in wool and cotton. After taking the shuttle loom training in 1971, he used to weave and sell blankets, cotton bed covers and shawls, etc. in the local market. He had a good long 25 years of experience in this tradition, and also went on to serve as the Secretary of the Weavers' Cooperation in Bhujodi for 11 years
