Weaving was in his blood as told by him. He had learnt weaving in his childhood itself as almost every kid does for it gets very cold during winters. So weaving and knitting is the only survival strategy for people in hills. He has also worked on the spinning wheel and claims to have one in his house itself. Though it is not used in the prest day but he says he wound never discard it because of the emotion it holds of his father and grandfather spinning and earning a livelihood through it.

The BODH SHAWLS was mainly started by Mr. Palzor Bodh’s father. It was not aa big as it is back then. Later on mr.Palzor had taken over the business and now his children too are all involved in it. He has four children. Two boys and two girls, who all are married and have children now. The shawls producwd in the unit are made on handlooms using yarns sourced from Australia. They are spun and then dyed in Jai Shree (kolkata).
