Basket Maker of Andugula
Polaiah is a basket maker. He is from
Andugula village in Kalvakurthi Mandal,
Mahabubnagar district. He is about 35
years old. He belongs to Yerukala, a tribal
community. Polaiah’s family has been
weaving baskets for generations.
Bagyamma, his wife also works as a basket
maker. And they have three children.
Polaiah’s father along with other 25
families came to the city about 30 years
ago as the demand for baskets had declined
in their native village. He sells baskets on
the pavements of Chaderghat.
Polaiah uses the spines of wild date
palm (eatha chettu) leaves. Using a knife,
he shaves off the leaves and keeps them in
hot sunshine to dry them. The raw material,
wild date palm leaves, are brought in
bundles from Andugula, their native
village. His relatives in Andugula collect
the spines from bushes around their
villages and sell to basket makers like
Polaiah. Andugula is about 60 km from
Hyderabad.
