A woman weaving cloth
En route from Birethanti to Nayathanti, Nepal, an elderly woman sits under an umbrella, weaving fabric. In the past the threads for weaving used to be made locally. However, local cotton growing has declined in the past five decades as imported factory-made threads are much cheaper. Weaving in Nepal is done by both men and women.
