Textile is an embodiment of Bhutanese culture and tradition and it is the staple identity of the Kingdom. Each region of the country has its own unique textile with unique intricate designs. The Kishuthara with its origin traced back to Khoma village in the east, is one such textile that is highly priced in the market today for its meticulous production. The skills that weavers portray through these textiles are immaculate and justifies why weavers in the Royal court were hired from Khoma. Apart from the prominent beauty of these textiles, in ancient days textile ownership was used to gauge a person’s economic status. The more you owned the wealthier you were considered. Materials were not readily available and production of these textiles were and still are time consuming as they are mostly handmade making them very costly. Several houses have set up attractive displays showcasing textile products for sale. There are also several households where you can arrange a home stay for a true taste of Bhutanese hospitality and the authentic rural lifestyle
