Syona Puliady reflects on the impact of exhibiting Jain choḍ textiles, highlighting how these often-overlooked devotional objects, typically regarded as family heirlooms or background elements in shrines, gained renewed attention and meaning through the exhibition setting. Community members responded with enthusiasm, reevaluating their own relationships with these works and recognizing the artistry, care, and cultural significance embedded in their creation. Puliady emphasizes the importance of engaging with both local communities and artists to deepen scholarship, while observing how practices like fundraising through choḍ production illustrate the living traditions and evolving roles of these textiles in religious and cultural life.
