The country’s age-old traditional artisanship is being carried forward to the postmodern world thanks to these Bangladeshi women. Millenia’s old techniques, crafts, and skills have been passed down from generation to generation for centuries. A few women are making Shitol pati, a mat made from bamboo fiber in Sirajganj. Some women are weaving carpets from wool in Rangpur, called Shatranji. Nakshi katha, fans, and baskets are also produced by these women. These items have great value and recognition at home and abroad and support these women and their families in rural Bangladesh.
