Furnishing / Bawan Booti

Originating from the historic land of Nalanda, Bawan Booti is a centuries-old weaving tradition inspired by Bihar’s rich Buddhist heritage. The craft is defined by its 52 traditional motifs, most notably the Bodhi leaf, along with lotuses, stupas, animals, birds, and geometric forms drawn from nature and folklore. Woven using a meticulous extra-weft technique on handlooms, each piece is crafted with fine silk or cotton threads, making every creation labor-intensive and truly one of a kind. Once reserved for royalty and aristocracy, Bawan Booti today finds elegant expression beyond sarees—gracing bedsheets, curtains, and home furnishings with timeless beauty. Handcrafted in villages like Baswan Bigha and Nepura (Nalanda district), Bawan Booti Furnishings carry forward the artistic soul of ancient Bihar into contemporary homes.
