The enterprising spirit of the Mangalagiri weavers

Naturally they are able to cater to the taste of the market with innovative designs and mesmerizing patterns.

• Ikat tie & dye has been experimented with and successfully displayed on the Mangalagiri handloom cottons, increasing their visibility and widening their reach.
• The weavers use basic designs but incorporate some striking colour combinations such as baby pink with a magenta border, maroon with mustard stripes, olive green with navy blue and so on.
• Another speciality of Mangalgiri is the nizam border. The nizam border typically has tiny zarigopurs (temple tops), which run through the borders of many fabrics.
• In shot cotton fabrics, they create magic. The weavers map out the warp yarns and then use different colours on the weft to create double shaded fabrics. If the warp threads are yellow, and the weft threads green, red, or orange, the end result is greenish-yellow, sunset orange, or a deep yellow fabric.Mangalgiri cotton is available in a breathtaking array of colours.
