The Handloom Bunkar's of Varanasi often use real zari in their textiles. Zari if drawn from real silver, withstands the test of fire and is then considered to be real zari. All other zari is fake and not made from real silver. #bunkarthedocumentary #realzari #Varanasi #handloom #Varanasiweavers

NataCampa brings to you its maiden attempt at reinterpretation of popular songs! We have tried to weave together two popular tracks that were made four and a half decades apart, into a harmonious melody. We do hope you enjoy listening to it! NataCampa is a humble attempt to breathe back Indian Aesthetics into dance and music. Be it in the classical, semi-classical or folk form, NataCampa aims to reinterpret the popular and commercial in a manner that roots us back into the ethos we originate from.

Bunkar is an attempt to awaken society to the reality of the life of a weaver and the price he pays so that our Indian legacy lives for one more day. While celebrating the weaves of Varanasi and their creators, the documentary compels us to rethink the role each one of us can play in making a difference to their lives. For every time that art has played it's role in shaping society, today an art is calling out to us. If we do not step up now, we may lose it forever.
