Freedom Manchaha

Handwoven carpets of hope

An initiative for livelihood, creativity and positive healing in Rajasthan prisons.

Freedom Manchaha

Manchaha, a hindi word popular in Rajasthan’s weaving community, means “expression of my heart”. Freedom Manchaha is a sustainable initiative where long-term prisoners of Jaipur, Bikaner & Dausa Jail get to design their own rug spontaneously on the loom. A section of society set-up for failure are transformed through income and self-expression to heal and spark change in their lives. Each rug in the collection is a masterpiece of design inspiration and is made of 222,184 individual knots in every square meter using hand-spun leftover yarn in carpet production which cannot be used afresh.
