Chinnalapatti is a neat and clean little town in the Dindigul district of southern Tamil Nadu. Chinnalapatti’s economy depends mainly on the hand-weaving industry. Weaving has been a way of life in Chinalapatti since time immemorial. The making of the Chinnalapattu involves looming, weaving, dyeing and printing. Practiced as an art by hand, this textile requires a lot of patience and creativity in the design of different shades.
