Handloom - A Special craft

I hear the faint sound of the loom going 'rap trap rap' and the special scent of the agarbatti emitting out of a doorway from the streets of Kanjeevaram, an ancient temple town close to the city of Chennai. As I follow the scent I enter a small room where I see the art of Indian handloom weaving unfold before me. The sound and the smell has made me get into a trance of sorts and is quite meditative in nature.
