Nagaland and other northeastern states are known for their handloom and bamboo products. Many tribes living in Nagaland make textiles using the traditional backstrap loom. A video on how these products are made was shared on social media by Union Minister of Law and Justice Kiren Rijiju.

In the video shared on the micro-blogging site Twitter, a group of Naga women can be seen sitting in a circle and then systematically cleaning the cotton balls and then ginning them. They then use the cleaned cotton fibres to turn them into threads using a particular type of spindle. Lastly, a group of women transform these threads into a full fabric.

"Extremely proud of our Naga Sisters and Brothers ! Fascinating Village in #Nagaland #IncredibleIndia #NorthEast #India," read the caption of the post shared by Rijiju.
