| Sukarara
This
is a village of weavers south of Cakranegara. This traditional village
lies 28 km southeast of bustling Mataram that has a bustling weaving
industry. Lombok is known for its brightly patterned songket cloth.
People have been making it on their handlooms from generation to
generation. These traditionally trained villagers produce an exquisite
array of fine woven cloths, using cotton, silk or gold and silver
to create their original designs, for which Lombok is now famous.
