Ram Sagar ji began weaving at the age of 16, sitting beside his father under a thatched roof loom shed. For him, weaving isn’t a profession—it’s a sanskriti (tradition). Over the years, he has seen design styles shift from bold Mughal-inspired floral motifs to more minimalistic, Scandinavian influences.
"Pehle hamare design mein bharpet phool aur bel hote the. Aajkal log saaf aur halka pattern pasand karte hain. Par har design mein kala rehti hai"
Favourite design: The Chakra Medallion Rug, a circular pattern centered in bold indigo and maroon—reminds him of temple carvings from his childhood.
