Lady weaves Sankaradeva’s whole Gunamala on the loom

An Assamese lady has now accomplished something very wonderful, weaving Srimanta Sankaradeva’s Gunamala on her cottage loom.
Jyoti Bora Dutta of Jorhat region has woven out the book in Toss Muga (otherwise called Tassar silk) in one year. Dutta has woven a bit of material estimating 8 meters long and one meter in broadness, and weighing around 2 kg.

Gunamala is a sacred text composed by Srimanta Sankaradeva inside one night in line with Koch lord Naranarayan in 1552. It is a shortened adaptation of the Bhagawat Purana compacted in rhyming stanzas. It relates numerous episodes from Lord Krishna’s life.After he consolidated the substance of the Bhagawat Purana into a little booklet, he put it into a little wooden box. At that point he painted the container with hengul-haital (yellow and red) an elephant inside a circle. He called it Bhurukaat Haathi – which means an elephant compressed in the lime pot.

Sankaradeva was later respected by the satisfied lord Naranarayan. Jyoti Bora Dutta said she was satisfied with her work however it was exceptionally hard and took her a year. I could fulfil my dream with the assistance of my relatives,” she said.
