Maheshwari Handloom Saree

Maheshwari handloom sarees originate from Maheshwar in Madhya Pradesh, India. Known for their elegance and simplicity, these sarees are typically woven from cotton and silk, creating a lightweight and comfortable fabric. They feature distinctive geometric patterns, stripes, and checks, often with a reversible border known as “bugdi.” The sarees are famous for their vibrant yet subtle colors, achieved through natural and azo-free dyes. Originally designed in the 18th century under the patronage of Queen Ahilya Bai Holkar, Maheshwari sarees combine traditional craftsmanship with a modern aesthetic, making them a versatile choice for both casual and special occasions.
