Artist Name: Sona Koli
Place: District Ashoknagar, Madhya Pradesh
Being born in the historic town of Chanderi, even as a child, weaving came as naturally to Sona as walking. In a town known for its rich history and exquisite Chanderi sarees, Sona’s family, like many others, treasured their craft as an ancestral heritage. However, as Sona grew up, she witnessed a decline in the demand for Chanderi products, making it challenging to find markets for their painstakingly crafted products. Fortunately, with recent government support and initiatives by organizations like AIF, Chanderi sarees have experienced a resurgence in popularity. Today, Sona stands as a guardian of tradition as Chanderi sarees have succeeded in
carving a niche not only in India but abroad. Chanderi, which has now become a favorite spot for many Bollywood shoots, continues to boast of its rich cultural heritage.
