The fabric is woven by Thiruvalluvar
Advertisements
Solution
The beautiful fabric woven by Thiruvalluvar was made of cotton. The farmer who had grown the plant had worked hard, then picked cotton from each boll and given it for spinning. Someone else had carded the cotton and spun it into long, uniform threads. These threads were dyed in lovely colours. Thiruvalluvar and his wife had woven the threads together, putting in beautiful designs. Thus, the final fabric was the result of the efforts of many people.
