About

A thick, durable handwoven cotton bedsheet and towelling fabric known for its distinctive striped or checked border pattern and exceptional absorbency.

Did you know? Solapur's cotton mills and handloom units together produce enough Chaddar and terry towel fabric to make the city one of India's largest home-textile manufacturing hubs, built on a craft tradition over a century old.
