00:00The beautiful, hand-made, and attractive Manikkainathivachis were named Eluru.
00:08In the city of Eluru, Tangellamudi, Lakshmivarappupeta, Senivarappupeta, and Adivarappupeta were the centers for the preparation of various types of thivachis.
00:17Thivachis were made here for a minimum of 100 days without stopping.
00:22These thivachis were taken from the country to other states to be made.
00:26Until a few years ago, these areas were busy with the preparation of thivachis.
00:40The reason why the thivachis of Eluru are so well-known is because of Manika Nanyathe.
00:45These thivachis are made using pure wool, jute, and cotton threads.
00:50The thivachis are made using natural colors.
00:53The thivachis are made using 165 threads per year.
00:59In time, the thivachis that are made using machines are sold in the market.
01:03These thivachis are made using acrylic fibers.
01:07These thivachis are attractive and low in weight.
01:12As a result, the thivachis that are made by hand have increased in value.
01:16With this, hundreds of people who work in this field have gone to other jobs.
01:20Even today, many women rely on these thivachis to make a living.
01:50In the past, we used to sell these thivachis in the market.
01:54But now, we can't sell these thivachis in the market.
01:57We can only sell these thivachis on platforms.
02:00We can't sell these thivachis in the market.
02:03If we want to sell these thivachis in the market, we need a market.
02:07If we have a market, we can sell these thivachis to 10 people.
02:09We have been selling these thivachis since we were kids.
02:11We used to get Rs. 5 for each thivachi.
02:13We have been selling these thivachis since then.
02:15But we don't have any recognition for these thivachis.
02:17If this industry develops well, many people will start selling these thivachis.
02:20These carpets have become expensive.
02:23We don't have any work.
02:25We don't have any work.
02:27We don't have any work.
02:29We don't have any work.
02:31We don't have any work.
02:33We don't have any work.
02:35We don't have any work.
02:37If the government helps us, they will show us a way.
02:41Once upon a time, hundreds of women worked in this field.
02:44Now, only 10 to 15 women work in this field.
02:47The number of women working in this field has fallen to 3.
02:5110 years ago, the central government
02:54established exhibition centers in cities and towns
02:57and helped the thivachis to sell these thivachis.
03:01Since then, the number of women working in this field has decreased.
03:04There are fewer people who care about these thivachis.
03:06If we ignore the importance of women working in this field,
03:08we will not be able to sell these thivachis in the local market.
03:12We are not able to sell these thivachis in the local market.
03:15The central government has stopped providing us with training.
03:18We are not able to sell these thivachis in the local market.
03:25We are not able to provide the same quality of thivachis
03:29to the people who work in this field.
03:34There is no difference between the thivachis we sell now and the thivachis we used to sell.
03:39The number of thivachis we sell has decreased.
03:42We are not able to supply the same quality of thivachis to the people who work in this field.
03:47In the past, the number of thivachis sold in this field was very low.
03:52But now, the number of thivachis sold in this field has decreased.
03:57I think it would be good to provide the same quality of thivachis to the people who work in this field.
04:06Thivachis are being sold to thousands of people.
