Ringaal basketry is a popular craft in the Kumaon and Garhwal region of Uttarakhand. Made out of the bamboo with the same name, it is generally weaved to make objects of domestic use, like basket to carry firewood, or as a storage container. This short video about Ringaal artisan Laxmi Devi tells her story of defiance, independence, humility and of the belief that it is never late to learn anything new.
