Handloom wonders-Narayanpet Sarees
The beauty of a Narayanpet saree lies in its simplicity.
With a history that dates back to 1630 AD, narayanpet boast of being endorsed
by the Maratha ruler- Shivaji Maharaj. Narayanpet is a small town in Telangana
state where the main source of livelihood for the people is weaving. Narayanpet
saree is made in silk and cotton. The uniqueness of this sari is the checks
pattern on the body and temple design on the borders which signifies the
spiritual nature of the artisans.
Dyed in vegetable dyes, unlike usual saree weaving where in
7 yards are woven in one stretch, narayanpet saree is woven in 56 yards length.
So at a go 8 sarees are woven. This is one wonder that should adorn every
wardrobe!
