The Chakma are the largest indigenous group in Bangladesh. This community has been following a traditional way of weaving to make their dresses. The process of Chakma weaving begins with growing cotton on the slopes of the hills through “jhum” cultivation. The cotton is then spun into yarn and dyed using natural products prepared using age-old methods. They make their won loom called the “bain.” Chakma girls and women usually learn to weave on the bain under the guidance of their mothers or elder women in the household. Around the age of eight, a Chakma girl is encouraged to start learning a range of motifs to be weaved on the bain. Mothers usually show the motifs to the daughters from a woven catalogue called “alam.” This heirloom woven catalogue is passed down through generations ensuring the preservation and continuation of this cultural heritage. Chakma traditional clothing includes approximately 210 motifs, primarily inspired by nature. The motifs are used in Chakma traditional attires, particularly “pinon-hadi.” This is a two piece set for women, where “pinon” is the ankle-length cloth wrapped around the waist and “hadi” is the breast-band tightly wrapped around the upper body.
