My
thanks go to the Gajam family of Puttapaka, Andra Pradesh, South
India who generously gave of their time and hospitality to enable
the documentation of the Telia Rumal, produced by their family
since early last century. Special thanks go to G. Govardhana who
made this documentation posible and to Pushpa latha , whose translation
skills facilitated communication and learning through village
life experience as well as weaving process. And I give recognition
to the inhabitants of Puttapaka for their weaving expertise, spirit
of co-operation, and general inquisitive nature.
