What is Dhaka?
The unique art and craft of Dhaka has its roots in both eastern and western villages in Nepal. The skill for weaving Dhaka has been passed down through many generations of women. It reaches back almost a thousand years, and has long been prized as a truly indigenous traditional form of artistic expression. Each village generally has its own unique weaving pattern. Dhaka can be made into scarves, bags, tablecloths, and many other useful things.
