Gadwal Saree

• History: Gadwal sarees have a historical origin from Gadwal, a town in Telangana, India. They are known for blending cotton and silk in their unique weave, reflecting traditional craftsmanship dating back several centuries.

• Source/Location: Gadwal sarees are traditionally woven in Gadwal, Telangana, using a distinctive interlocking technique known as "kuttu." The silk portion is often sourced from Karnataka, while the cotton comes from local farms.

• Texture/Work: Gadwal sarees are woven using pure mulberry silk threads, with the unique feature of incorporating cotton threads in the warp and silk threads in the weft. This blend creates a sturdy yet beautifully textured fabric. The sarees often feature traditional geometric patterns, like checks or stripes, along with floral motifs.
