The 20 months work was completed on Sunday on a muga silk cloth measuring 150 feet in length and 2 feet in breadth. Hemprabha started her work on the 4th of December 2016. She also weaves a chapter of the Holy Book in English.
“It was my great desire of completing the holy work as the Bhagavad Gita is an integral part of our culture and religion. I have earlier weaved Sankardev’s ‘Gunamala’ and Madhavdev’s ‘Naam Ghosa’ on cloth. I will be happy if my work is preserved in a museum,” Hemprabha said.
In 2014, Hemprabha had weaved Sankardev’s scripture ‘Gunamala’ on an 80-feet Muga silk cloth. Then in 2016, she weaved the Vaishnavite scripture ‘Naam Ghosa’ written by Madhabdev. For her work, she has been conferred several awards, including the Bakul Bon award, Aai Kanaklata award and the state government’s handloom and textile award for her excellence in weaving.
