| Abstract: | Abstract ̶ This paper examines the evolutionary journey of Durries Art (handwoven Rugs) from its folk roots in the Malwa Region, Panjab, to its current social and cultural manifestations. The purpose of this study is to trace how Durrie's art, originally intended for the base sheet of a bed (Manja) and floor mattresses, has transitioned to contemporary spaces while retaining its cultural and social significance. Durries have evolved beyond their utilitarian function to become expression of identity, heritage, and artistic excellence. Using historical analysis and visual investigation, the research explores the intricate patterns and vibrant motifs of Durrie's art, such as geometrical designs, animal motifs, flowers, peacocks, asymmetrical designs, and various other figures, and their symbolic meanings. All reflecting the aesthetic sensibility and socio-cultural narratives of rural Panjab. The methodology includes a review of literature and fieldwork which involves interviews with artisan, and documentation of weaving practices to understand both the tangible and intangible aspect of this art form. The findings reveal the challenges faced by artists due to tools, raw materials, and modern machinery involvement and propose strategies for conserving this traditional art form. This study concludes that despite modernization, Malwa durrie art continues to thrive, reflecting its adaptability and enduring appeal. Finding reveals the major challenges faced by artisans today, including scarcity of raw materials, declining manual skills, competition from mechanical production, and lack of financial support. Despite these challenges, the reliance of local artisan and going on efforts in design innovation and sustainable practices signify hope of revival. This study concludes that, even amidst modernization and globalizations, Malwa Durries art endures as a living tradition- retaining its adaptability, cultural symbolism, and timeless aesthetic appeal. |
