The charkha, a traditional hand-powered spinning wheel, is a cornerstone of Jammu and Kashmir’s textile heritage. Used to spin cotton and wool into yarn, it has supported rural economies and crafted iconic Pashmina shawls for centuries. Popularized during India’s freedom struggle, the charkha remains a symbol of self-reliance and craftsmanship, preserved by artisans and promoted through local initiatives. #Charkha #JammuAndKashmir #textileheritage #JammuAndKashmir #trandingreels #traditional #wo
