Women of the lower-income families from this region use the durable natural fibre for weaving a variety of sophisticated artifacts for economic sustenance.
• Traditionally, the local communities used Sabai grass to make ropes. The craft has evolved to appeal to global markets and, the craftsmen started dying the fibre with vegetable and natural dyes. However, these days, food safe artifical olours are also used in some cases.The Sabai grass is harvested, reaped, sun-dried, twisted into ropes and turned into braids. These are then dyed if needed and processed into the final products.

Sabai Grass Weaving
Sabai grass is a natural fibre abundantly grown in tribal-dominated areas of Orissa and parts of West Bengal.The usage of the grass, locally known bobei ghasa, was earlier confined mainly to rope-making. But over a period of time, the craft has seen an evolution into the production of a very wide range of environment-friendly, elegant and sophisticated utility products for home and other uses. Women workers, mostly belonging to tribal communities are extensively engaged in the production of these items.
