KRM Felting Shu Cloth with His Feet in Garam Chashma
Abstract
A close-up shot of KRM using his feet to felt Shu cloth during the traditional felting process in Garam Chashma. The motion of his feet applies pressure to the wool fibers, interlocking them into a dense and durable fabric. A walking stick supports his balance, emphasizing the physical effort involved in this intricate, manual craft. The wet surroundings and scattered tools reflect the authenticity of the process in the natural environment.
