Mukesh's family were weavers in Mudan, two hundred years ago. They shifted to Jingutimbho, three kilometers from Sarli, and continued their profession, travelling between villages to sell their cotton goods to local people. Mukesh’s Grandfather Samathbhai won the state award. in 1990. His father Naranbhai won the Sant Khabir award in 2009, and his uncle Kanthibhai won the National award in 1997.

Mukesh learned the craft from his father during his school days and has been weaving for the last 7 years. Mukesh has travelled to Hyderabad, Goa, Lucknow, Varanasi, Udaipur, Jaipur, Jodhpur, Mumbai, Delhi and Ahmedabad. He thinks that for good design one should have good thoughts and who ever can make a good design is a good designer . A good artisan is someone who puts a lot of effort in his work and who can do proper composition and can play with colour. All households require woven material in some form, Mukesh says. So, progress depends a lot on weaving. The future is good for weaving, he feels. Market demand has increased. But with industries coming into the area the number of artisans and helpers has dwindled and there is a little concern for the future.

Mukesh wants to do a lot of work in the field of weaving and popularize the craft, as well as start his own brand and travel abroad.
