An Indian weaver works on the loom as he weaves a Baluchari saree in the city of Bishnupur around 210 kms north west of Kolkata on August 18, 2012. Baluchari is a popular ninteenth century figured silk saree, designed in shimmery silk, depicting scenes from mythology or simple flowers or motifs and woven in contrasting colours. These traditional sarees are increasingly becoming expensive as the art is facing extinction due to lack of infrastructure and abject poverty of the weavers. AFP PHOTO/Dibyangshu SARKAR
