2.2 Indian Weavers : Activities

Weavers are weaving a garment early in the morning. They are so happy. They are weaving the robes of a new born child. The robes are blue as the wings of a Kingfisher. In the evening weavers are weaving a bright garment. The garment is like the bright soft feathers of a peacock. It is the marriage veil of a queen. Weavers are solemn and still at the chill night. They are weaving the shroud for a dead man’s funeral. The garment is as white as feather and cloud.
