00:00In the mind of the Govind Chandra minister of the Hobochandra kingdom, the Pahadhaka shoes were popularized.

00:11This was brought up in the story of the shoe invention by the poet Rabindranath.

00:15But the story does not go anywhere.

00:18This Paduka has repeatedly taken place in the history of India.

00:21Whether it is the Paduka Purana of Ramayana Ram, or Mahabharata,

00:26this shoe is the epitome of Draupadi.

00:29But the reason does not go anywhere.

00:31Except the shoes, the entire human society is incomplete.

00:36For example, you wore a wonderful dress,

00:39you put on make-up,

00:41and you made a stove.

00:43It looks amazing to you.

00:46But you wore shoes so much that your entire look was sold out.

00:51But in this part of India, there is such a shoe invention,

00:55which is ethnic to western,

00:57which can be replaced with any outfit,

01:00complete look.

01:01The story is about Kolhapuri shoes.

01:04But the current Maharashtra or the former Maratha state,

01:08this art is very ancient.

01:11But the future is now entering,

01:14Kolhapuri shoe invention.

01:17I have been doing this work for 40 years.

01:21I was 25 years old when I learned this.

01:26I have been doing this since then.

01:28I have three generations in this.

01:30My grandfather used to do it.

01:32My father used to do it.

01:33I do it myself.

01:34We are the third generation.

01:36My grandfather used to sit,

01:38my father after him.

01:40We have been in business for 70-80 years.

01:43The business is good,

01:45but it is not as good as it should be for children.

01:49Because we don't get any help,

01:51we don't get any money.

01:53The customer bargains.

01:55We want to give the original thing for Rs.200, but we don't want to take it.

02:01Outside, we get duplicate Kolhapuri for Rs.200-300.

02:05We tell our guests that we get it for Rs.300-500.

02:10But the original thing is expensive.

02:12But the customers don't appreciate it.

02:14They don't want to buy a good thing.

02:16That's the difference.

02:17That's why we are not getting any progress.

02:20The original Kolhapuri slippers are only made of Kolhapuri tannery shoes.

02:26But now, people are spending a lot of money to buy Kolhapuri shoes

02:31and are buying plastic or foam shoes.

02:36First of all, the price is low.

02:38Secondly, there is a lot of competition.

02:41And many fashionistas are buying Kolhapuri shoes in the market.

02:47Will the existence of this ancient art of India continue in the future?

02:54The answer to this question is now being thought by the Chambra artists of Kolhapur, Maharashtra.
