Balaramapuram is a small township located in the Thiruvananthapuram district of Kerala state in India. The place’s history of weaving dates back to the era of princely rule in the region. It is believed that during the regime of the King, His Highness Balarama Varma handloom weaving was introduced in Balaramapuram. The weavers belong to the Shaliya community and are believed to have been brought to this region by King His Highness Balarama Varma from the nearby state of Tamil Nadu. They were brought to weave and supply cloths to the members of the royal family. Today Handloom sales are one of the major activities in Balaramapuram and the weaving or part of the handloom-making process is done by all communities in and around Balaramapuram including Hindu, Christian and Muslim.

Kaithary.com is aiming at helping these weaver’s community by promoting online sales of handloom and other handmade items like jewellery. A percentage of the profit from this initiative will be used for charity purposes mainly to help the children of all weaving community members for education.
