Organizations
such as, Mahila Umang Samiti, Ranikhet; Avani in
Berinag; Panchachuli Women Weavers Association,
Almora; Aepan, Bhimtal and Fruitage, Bhowali are
partners in this endeavour. Besides Aarohi products,
the shop has jams, pickles, hand-woven shawls, jackets,
hand-knitted sweaters and booties, handcrafted ‘aepan’
picture frames, candles, locally produced silk and
wool fibres, natural dyes and other articles representing
revival of Kumaoni folk art.
The combined display
of products from the region attracted patrons who
were keen to showcase the range as representative
of Kumaon region for a prestigious exhibition in
Mumbai to be held in October 2007.
