Introduction

One String, Many music.
A traditional story where the world comes in tune with ‘Tant’, the heritage handloom weave of Bengal.
This story of weaving unfolds at our “Chilekuthi” (The Attic) where the nostalgia of ancient North Kolkata remains in its full glory.
A story that speaks about the traditional weaves of our Bengal and the weavers (Tanti) who create the magic with threads.
Moreover, it speaks about the industry of ‘Tant’ which is almost on the verge of being extinct.
Aktara crosses the border of Bengal and presents an ensemble cast of Handloom fabrics from all over India but carries the essence of Bengal at its core, at its heart.
We invite you to join us and be a part of this grandeur where the threads come to life, to the unique tune of strings.(Aktara).
