Fashioning forest vines into utility items - spectrum
For the past 10 years, I have woven more than 1,000 handicraft items and sold them. On an average, the price of each of piece is about ₹300,” says Maadi from Karooru village located in the midst of Western Ghats. These utility items are made out of a forest vine called kool balli (Ichnocarpus frutescens). Earlier this vine had several applications. However, in recent times, it has been replaced by modern alternatives. “Hence, kool balli, a woody vine is found abundantly in the forests,” says Maadi.
