Photo of a woman weaving in a workshop.
In Nepal we often see people working manually in small workshops like this one, doing weaving, shoe making and so on. Manual work is the key to survive, even the crops are made this way, there are no (or only a few) machines to help.
It is amazing to see the time it takes for this weaver to manufacture this carpet. And it requires a lot of skills!
