Abstract


Floor coverings have been co-existents with civilization. The domestication of annuals, shearing wool and then the utilization of spinning and weaving process to obtain thread and woven end products like rugs, sheets, pile carpets and several rough and sophisticated forms of druggist mats etc began to be created based on design and utilization. Elaborate design begun to surface in different parts of the world. In mother India the 'panja dari' weaving forms a cultural essentially and yet in facing a several decline as even local favour has dwindled over the past 2-3 decades. Several reasons are being for the showdown of the projected process right from the lowered raw material production of suitable threads to the weaving all purpose dari with complicated designs. The utilization of these daris has for year's dictated their usage. These have been culturally ordained uses of the 'panja' dari.
