"Presented a hand-woven tapestry from Venkatagiri, Andhra Pradesh woven in Jamdani style to PM Sheikh Hasina," Modi tweeted.
The tapestry, done by Nellore's national award winning artist and master craftsman Shri Gowrabathini Ramanaiah, has been woven using fine cotton yarn and pure gold thread, with both the warp and the weft having the same count of cotton yarn.
Located in Nellore district, Venkatagiri is famous for handlooms, and its weavers have adopted the fine 'jamdani' style while assimilating traditional designs of the region.
"Artwork in this tapestry shows Kalpavriksh tree & the Kamadhenu cow," Modi tweeted.
