About

A handloom saree tradition blending Maharashtrian and South Indian weaving influences, recognisable by its checked body, temple-style borders, and a rich, contrasting colour palette.

Did you know? Narayanpet's weaving style is a genuine cultural crossover — early weavers who migrated from Maharashtra combined their techniques with local South Indian silk traditions, producing a hybrid saree style found nowhere else.
