"Chakati" is a small mat that is locally made in our villages. And it is made out of none other thannnnnnnn.... "MAKAI KO KHOSTA" our very own skin (or leaf) of the corn on the cob!!!!!!!! The skin is dried, separated and turned in four long pieces that are cut vertically along the fibres. It is then connected together using different techniques to connect and form mats in different sizes, design and height. It is just amazing to know that nothing goes to waste and people are so artistic in my country!!!!
