Threads are seen rolled on shaped twigs called Tooji at loom in Roshanabad
Threads are seen rolled on shaped twigs called " Tooji" at a " Kani" shawl loom in Roshanabad 20 km (12 miles) west of Srinagar December 11, 2006. Kani shawls are woven on a fame-loom using Tooji, which have coloured woollen thread attached to them. A Kani shawl takes from three months to a year for an artisan to complete a shawl depending on the embroidery and fetches from Rupees 20, 000 ($ 450) to 100, 000 ($ 2270).

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intricate artistry of Kani shawl weaving in Roshanabad, located 20 km west of Srinagar. The image showcases threads delicately rolled on shaped twigs known as "Tooji" at a traditional loom. These Tooji play a vital role in creating the mesmerizing patterns and designs that adorn Kani shawls. Kani shawls are meticulously woven on fame-looms using these specialized Tooji, which have colored woollen threads attached to them. Each artisan invests anywhere from three months to an entire year to complete a single shawl, depending on the complexity of embroidery involved. The dedication and skill required for this craft is truly remarkable. The value of Kani shawls extends beyond their aesthetic appeal; they also hold significant cultural importance. Adorned with exquisite motifs and vibrant hues, these luxurious creations fetch prices ranging from Rupees 20,000 ($450) to 100,000 ($2,270). Such high price tags reflect not only the laborious process but also the rich heritage associated with these handcrafted masterpieces. Through this photograph by Fayaz Kabli from Reuters Images, we are transported into the world of Kashmiri craftsmanship where tradition meets innovation. It serves as a reminder of how art can transcend time and geographical boundaries while preserving cultural legacies for generations to come.
