A bamboo weaver fromThodupuzhahas found an artistic way to recycle used beer and liquor bottles.Bhagavath Raj, ofPoomalanear Pannimattom in Thodupuzha, makes art pieces by weaving different designs using bamboo stripes on discarded bottles. His creations are in high demand among the public. These artistic bottles are now part of the interior dcor of many homes, hotels, and offices.
“As the demand for woven bamboo baskets, which we usually sell on the streets, is pretty low during the rainy season, I thought of doing something different and ended up weaving bamboo on bottles, which I collect for free,” said Raj, who is originally from Theni in Nadu.
