The Craft

Punja Durrie is a flat-woven handloom craft producing durable, reversible cotton rugs. Named after the metallic claw tool (Panja) used to beat weft threads tight, it creates distinct geometric patterns and modern home accessories.

The Place

Crafted in village hubs across Mohali, Moga, and Bathinda, these rural clusters bring individual women together. Supported by local Self-Help Groups and SabTera, the cluster framework transforms domestic weaving into organized, collaborative micro-enterprises.

Story behind the Craft

Durrie weaving is a generational Punjabi tradition where women crafted rugs for domestic use and wedding dowries (daaj). Though machine-made rugs led to its decline, modern revival efforts are restoring this heritage craft to contemporary markets.
