The story

Comilla Khadi Festival in Cumilla

This event centers on Comilla's khadi cloth tradition, a hand-spun cotton craft that spread through Chandina and Muradnagar after Gandhi's 1921 visit to the district during the swadeshi movement. Expect khadi yardage and finished garments sold directly from weaving families and cooperatives, though a fixed annual edition of the festival itself is not well documented.

Mahatma Gandhi traveled to Chandina, in greater Comilla district, in 1921 to encourage local weavers during the swadeshi movement, and the hand-spun cotton cloth that followed still carries his Abhay Ashram's imprint on the region's textile identity.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

Khadi's local name, khaddar, comes from khad, the pit early weavers dug to operate a below-ground foot-pedal loom, a construction method still associated with the Chandina and Muradnagar weaving centers this event would showcase

02

The mystery stays covered

The cloth carries political history distinct from an ordinary textile craft: it became a symbol of Gandhi's anti-colonial swadeshi movement after his 1921 visit to the district, giving the fabric a heritage weight beyond its practical, breathable weave
