kamli, manisha, and nirmala have named their manchaha 'neelu,' which alludes to the ever-changing colors of blue indigo on the rug. the contrast between the morning and night sky blends across with different shades of blue yarn on the carpet. the rising of the sun to fading away of stars shows the gradual rotation of the earth. the difference in the indigo color denotes the changing appearance of celestial bodies. the symmetrical division of moon phases on neelu was inspired by hindu folklore to depict the friendship, kinship, and pleasant nights these women shared.
