Exhibit of the week- 113 (25th to 31st July 2022) Narah (A Haversack) Website link - https://igrms.com/wordpress/?page_id=8807 Narah is a haversack woven with fine splits of cane in the form of a deep rectangular pouch. This backpack is traditionally regarded as the true companion of the male folk who indispensably carries it for travelling outside their home. It is also used as protective gear against the attack of the wild beast from back while crossing the dense forest. The back portion of the haversack extends above the rim in the form of elongated ear-like flaps, to which the braided shoulder straps are attached. When worn, the flaps securely cover the opening and provide firm support on the shoulder to carry the essentials and personal belongings. It is a very crucial item to be carried by the men on their journey outside the village, conducting hunting expeditions, cultivation, or any kind of individual or collective activities. Acc.
