Sital means cool in Bengali, while pati means mat. These mats are made from the soft slips of Maranta Dichotoma, A locally grown cane, split lengthwise into fine strands.
Sitalpati is integrally linked with Bengali lifestyle. From the cane, the bust fibre is extracted in various layers as the quality of the Pati depends on the different layers of the cane used.
Sitalpati is traditionally used for sleeping and sitting.
The process of weaving Sitalpati is a complicated and time bound one.
There are presently 14,000 families weaving Pati in Ghughumari and its surrounding areas in Cooch Behar district. Generally men are engaged in growing and extracting fibre, while women are mostly engaged in weaving.
