Pochampally Saree
or Pochampalli Ikat is a saree made in Boodhan Pochampally, Nalgonda district,
India. They are popular for their traditional geometric patterns in Ikat style
of dyeing.
Pochampally silk saree manufacturing history goes back to 1970, when it was decided by some village headmen of Pochampally to weave silk along with cotton(cotton weaving was being done since very long back), to make a better living. They have sent two young weavers to learn the secrets of the art to Bangalore. This was the beginning of a revolutionary era in the Pochampally handloom industry, which led to the eventual dominance of the Indian tie&die patola Industry.
