Amazing Khatiya Bunai ! Cot Knitting ! गाँव में चारपाई (खाट) कैसे बुनते है?
The traditional charpai were made in three simple steps: The fibre is first spun into yarns using the spinning wheel and similar mechanisms. Next, the yarn is knitted into ropes. Lastly, the ropes are woven into the charpoy using distinct styles and techniques.
The history of this timeless piece of furniture dates back to approximately 5000 years ago, though, no one is relatively sure about where or when exactly it originated. The charpai literally means four-legged and represents the same. It was generally used as a daybed as well as for sleeping. The four posts of equal heights made it self-leveling and thus, a simplistic marvel. In India, the charpai was built using varieties of weaving types from diagonal to cross to linear weaving. Each culture and community had their own ‘traditional’ way of making it sturdy and stylish.
The charpoy soon gained popularity among people from all walks of life due to its simplicity, charm and of course, practicality. It became a part of the daily lifestyle among Indians as it was found in almost every room of the household. It also featured in various Hindu rituals, from birth till death.The charpoy had helped entire households generate an economic ecosystem of their own. Families who wove the charpoys, occupationally, soon started planting crops that would yield the fibres for the ropes. Family members would sit together in their spare time, day and night, to simply weave. A lazy summer evening would imply simply idling by on the charpoy under a mango tree or in the courtyard, after a sultry day in the fields. This sentiment is what placed this piece of furniture at the heart of Indian culture.
Despite its extensive usage throughout the country, the weaving of the charpoy soon became a dying craft. The reason for this, as is in most cases, was the introduction of better and more importantly, long-lasting products like the wooden double bed. A slight disadvantage of the charpoy in comparison to these beds was that with repeated use, the woven portion would start sagging and eventually, it would not be in working condition. Nowadays it has disappeared even from most of the rural households as it is cheaper and easier to acquire beds made from iron and nylon. Like all things great, culture was eventually lost to convenience.
