Hari Prasad, a handloom weaver of Sircilla, has once again spun magic with threads made of gold and silver by weaving a striking silk saree embellished with the replica of Lord Ram temple in Ayodhya.
Through painstaking effort, perseverance and, above all, unflinching devotion to Lord Ram, Mr.Hari Prasad wove the saree over a period of 20 days.
On several occasions in the past, he has earned wide praise for his meticulous craftsmanship. Prime Minister Narendra Modi had made a mention of his handwoven G20 logo on a 24×12 inch fabric during the ‘Mann Ki Baat’ programme in November 2022.
It depicts the replica of Ram temple in Ayodhya and motifs on the important themes of the epic Ramayana in resplendent glory, he asserts, saying he used 8 grams of gold and 20 grams of silver for the silk saree.
“My wife Rekha helped me in making the saree,” he said, adding that he will hand over the saree to Mr.Modi in New Delhi on the occasion of Republic Day on January 26.
