In the Mahabharata, when Draupadi called out to Krishna in absolute distress when she was being humiliated by Dushyasana, giving up in absolute surrender as he began to disrobe her, divine grace is said to have intervened with her saree staying put on her even as the Kaurava kept pulling endlessly.
A similar instance of grace seems to now be flowing for the traditional handloom weavers of Udupi cotton handloom sarees whose numbers had dwindled to less than fifty in the twin districts of coastal Karnataka. Udupi Krishna wrapped himself in the indigenous weave which seems to have now blessed its slow and steady revival.
