IMPORTANT FEATURES OF TEXTILE
PATTERNS OF SIKKIM
Sikkim, the home of three distinct races, the Lepchas, the Bhutias, and the Tsongs plays a
predominant role in handloom weaving. Handloom weaving in Sikkim is synonymous with the
Lepcha weave. In ancient times, the Lepcha’ s of Sikkim were said to use yarn spun out of stinging
nettle (sisnu) plant to weave clothes. Today cotton and woollen yarn are used together with
vegetable dyes and synthetic colours.The vertical frame loom with a back strap used by the Lepcha
women is indigenous in Sikkim. The weave frame is made from bamboo or various types of wood
which is available. Nearly all types of weaves can be woven in the loin loom.
On a loin loom, the possibilities of weaving pattern
are unlimited. The cloth woven by the women is used
for women’s traditional coat material. Cotton yarn is
the basic material whereas the woolen yarn is
utilized for the motifs over the coat. The raw
material used by the Lepchas for their garments is
cotton, and for blankets they use sheep wool.
Lepchas rear their own sheep for the wool and some
wool is also bought from local traders.
Lepcha weaves or 'thara' is woven in
vertical looms with a backstrap. Such
looms are of small width. Traditional
design with different colours are used
to make tharas which are used for
making bedspreads, bags, belts,
curtains, cushion covers, table mats,
tray cloths etc, apart from their
traditional dress.

LEARNING OUTCOMES

Firstly we would like to thank our mathematic teacher, Ms. Taruna Didi for giving us
this opportunity to expand our horizons and acumen in the field of mathematics. We
are now able to recall elements and basic vocabulary of geometry. We can display and
illustrate the understanding of polygons and their areas. Our best experience has
been integrating Mandala Art and colour scheme with different concepts of
mathematics- Polygons,Symmetry , Area etc. Combining two completely different
forms of knowledge together is something that many people would not acknowledge
but what we consider to be quite fascinating.
