Narayanpet Sarees, Traditional Patterned Weaves Shining In Revival
The Narayanpet Saree is a ‘fine’ silk or cotton fabric characterized by zari check patterns on the
body, contrast colour temple border and plain border on the sides. Made up of brilliant hues, the
fabric is lustrous and retains its shine for long.
Narayanpet Sarees are traditional handlooms made in Narayanpet, a town in Mahbubnagar District,
abricA.P., India. The characteristic Zari check patterns on a silk or cotton body with a contrasting
colour temple border and plain border on both sides, are distinguishing features of the Narayanapet
Sari. A family tradition involving all its members, the Narayanpet handlooms are woven in silk and
cotton, though the preference was once more for silk on account of the returns.
Narayanpet Sarees originally came through a Marathi influence; the royal patronage of Shivaji, the
Marathi ruler. Later Lokapalli Sansthanam, an organized body, devoted efforts to see this traditional
art form flourish. Even today, wearing a Narayanpet Saree is considered auspicious, and offering of
the same is meant for the Goddess.
The Narayanpet saree has a fineness count of 80:80. Fineness count is a number expressing how
fine the fabric is. Higher the count, finer the material. Here fineness is indicative of the fibres per
unit length of warp and weft.
The handloom weaving of the Narayanpet Silk fabric could take 2-3 days to complete.
Comparatively, a Narayanpet Cotton Saree would take a day to weave. It is roughly estimated that
there are about 1000 families or slightly more, involved in the making of this ethnic fabric.
Employing vegetable dyes, the Narayanpet Saree has colours both rich and bright. The colour is
mostly retained throughout the life of the fabric.
The Saree making process involves separation of gum from the yarn, bleaching so that the yarn loses
its natural colour and would readily acquire the vegetable dye colour. Washed again after colouring
and dried in shade for fastness of colour to be retained, the yarn is spun into threads. Threads are
laid out on the warp (length wise lay) and rolled onto small sticks for the weft (breadth wise
weaving).
A weaver makes 30 sarees from one beam of warp. It would take a month to complete weaving of
one beam. Narayanpet handloom sarees are traditionally woven in the interlocked-weft technique.

2. Geographical Indication(GI) Status has been awarded to the Narayanpet Saree in April 2013. The GI
status recognises the valuable contribution made by these weavers in keeping alive a cultural
heritage of Andhra Pradesh and is a big relief to the beleaguered weavers of Narayanpet.
Narayanpet Saris are worn in their various forms for different occasions.
Fancy block floral prints on narayanpet cotton saree is preferred for daily casual, by college
professors, corporate women and teachers.
The Pure Handloom Narayanapet Sari is fashionable wear with its kundans on thread embroidery
designs, and zari border with an attractive pallu. It is generally worn for college parties, festivals and
event functions.
