About
A resist-dyeing weaving technique where yarn is tie-dyed in intricate patterns before weaving, producing the telltale soft, blurred-edge geometric designs synonymous with Telangana's handloom tradition.
Did you know? Pochampally village lent its name to the Ikat technique but is also historically significant as the site of India's first Bhoodan (land-gift) movement in 1951, led by Vinoba Bhave.
