Gadwal

Gadwal is a small town in Mehboobnagar district of Telengana.  The weaves of Gadwal are about 300+ years old and have historically flourished under the patronage of various princely rulers of the region.  The Classic Gadwal sari is a silk-cotton sari.  The body of the sari is woven with fine cotton & the border & pallu are made using mulberry or tussar silk and embellished with zari.  

The more contemporary Gadwals are woven fully in silk.  However, whether its silk-cotton or pure silk, one distinguishing feature of the Gadwal sari is the “kuttu” (meaning joining) at the border – so whether it cotton or silk, the Gadwal always have a silk border and invariably in dramatic colours.
