The Siddis of Karnataka and the dying art of making Kawandi quilts | Documentary Film | THE WEEK
"Deep inside the forests of Karnataka’s Uttara Kannada district, the Siddi community continues to preserve a rare and deeply personal quilting tradition known as kawandi.
Made from old saris and scraps of worn fabric, each kawandi is stitched entirely by hand—without patterns, machines, or templates. But these quilts are more than blankets. They carry memories, histories, and generations of lived experience." from the video introduction
