About

A handloom cotton textile with over 500 years of weaving history, distinguished by its signature "Nizam" border design and being woven without any embroidery or extra embellishment.

Did you know? Mangalagiri weavers traditionally use a unique interlocking border technique instead of embroidery or printing to create the fabric's decorative edge — a method locally called the "Nizam" border that has stayed unchanged for centuries.
