    The tools and raw materials used for weaving traditional Agartala sarees are as follows:

    • Backstrap Loom: This loom is a collection of various equipments like loom bar,
      tie, shed rod, heddle stick, backstrap, sword/beater, roll-up stick, and shuttle.
      This is used for weaving the sarees of Tripura in a traditional method.

    • Cotton Yarn: It is the basic material that is used for weaving the saree.

    • Spindle: It is inserted in the fly shuttle to weave weft. The yarns are spun on it.

    • Spinning Wheel: Using this, the yarns are spun to the spindles/pirns.

    • Shuttles: These are used while weaving weft yarns.

    • Warp Drum: Warp yarns are wound on the drum from the reel that eases the
      process of warping while weaving.

    • Dye: It is used for coloring the fabric that is being woven.

    • Hot Water: It is used for dyeing the yarns.
