“Charkha” which mostly used for making threads in old times. It’s something which let us connect with basics or roots. There used to be a long process involved while making threads like, plucking the cotton flowers, then extract cotton fibres (Resha) from the flower, then the seeds (Binola- used as eatables for animals and also extraction of oil from Binola). This is how the thread can be made from the fibres. Well Lemme tell you some of the basic things which you might connect with your cultural aspects. In Hindu Dharma, we always welcome the new crops and connect it with our festivals. Like Binola is also used during Sheetla Mata Poojan after Holi. And we also use threads (basically known as “Kookdi”) made by charkha only during Holika Dahan and also during vat vriksha Poojan (Banyan tree) or badi Amavasya Poojan. “Ghoom ghumeru charkha la, Kaate mera Lamba soot. “ . .
