About
A saree combining a lightweight cotton body with a pure silk, richly worked zari border and pallu — woven as two separate pieces on different looms and then interlocked into one seamless saree.
Did you know? A Gadwal saree is actually woven in two separate stages on two different looms — the cotton body and the silk zari border are made independently, then locked together thread by thread using a technique called "kupadam."
