THE STORY
A distinctive checked surface, attractive alternate bands on the pallu, and a woven or zari-flecked border, characterize the splendid handloom cotton sarees of Narayanpet.
Of clear Marathi provenance, these sarees were draped on idols and deities and were preferred exclusively by royalty. Legend has it that the Maratha king, Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj passed by the Narayanpet region, now in Telangana, when a few weavers from his entourage decided to stay back and focus on their craft.Wear these to religious festivities with traditional gold jewelry for an understated yet elegant look
