Weaver Castes (Julahe)

Weaver Castes, known as Julahe, are social groups within Indian society traditionally associated with weaving and textile crafts. These castes are part of the broader Hindu varna system, often classified as artisans or craftspeople. Historically, they held skilled roles, passing down weaving techniques across generations, and contributed to local economies and culture through fabric production. While modern economic and social changes have impacted these communities, their identity remains linked to textile craftsmanship and hereditary skills, reflecting a deep cultural heritage connected to their traditional occupation.
