India’s strength in traditional textile and natural fibres was showcased by the Ministry of Textiles through its tableau at the Republic Day parade.
The ministry’s tableau, portraying a traditional weaving shuttle in the form of a space shuttle, attempted to take the viewers through India’s journey from the evolution of traditional textiles to futuristic technical textiles.
The tableau also had charkhas, a loom, cotton balls and silk cocoon on its top portraying fiber to yarn conversion.
