Pura Women in Alor Weave Their Legacy
In the tranquil village of Pura, there is a story of resilience, heritage, and craftsmanship that echoes through the fabric of time. And at the heart of this village, a remarkable tradition is being kept alive by its women: the art of weaving.
In Pura, the livelihoods are beautifully intertwined with nature and tradition. The men of the village are expert fishermen, braving the deep blue seas, their weathered hands casting nets into the waves. But it is the women who stand as the true keepers of an ancient craft. With every thread that passes through their fingers, they preserve the vibrant history of their people. The practice of weaving is more than just a job—it’s a passion, a connection to their ancestors, and a sacred calling that bridges generations.
