Indian fashion’s Unity in Diversity!!:



The saree is the traditional outfit of women in India and the Indian sub continent.The word saree is a derivative of the sanskrit word “Sattika”.This glamorous, yet demure outfit first originated in southern India and today has gained enough popularity to symbolize itself as an Indian heritage and legacy. Sarees are also a reflection of the status, religion and economic condition of the women who are wearing it



Indian saree is well-known for its exquisite designs and varieties. As India is a country with diverse cultures and religions co-existing together, so are its outfits that differ in style and wearing pattern from state to state. Though more and more Indians, particularly in the urban areas are growing a taste for western outfits, Indian saree still rules the show with the distinct change it brings in the beauty of the woman adorning it.



We just don’t have different mindsets but also different styles of dressing up. Infact, its only in India that every state has its own unique style of dressing and this is not just limited to the fabric quality but it goes on further deeper to the extent of having a different style of weaving and dyeing for every fabric.



One of the examples for this paradigm is Mangalgiri, which is situated in the outskirts of Vijayawada, a well known city in the state of Andhra Pradesh. Mangalgiri is blessed with two well known temples. One is in the valley, of Sri Lakshmi Narasimha Swamy temple believed to be built by the King Krishna Devaraya. The other temple is on the hilltop known as Palaka Narasimha Swamy Temple.



Mangalgiri is well known for its Traditional Mangalgiri Handlooms sarees. Mangalgiri handlooms are well known for the durability of the colours used in the yarn. The mixture of colour gives the durability. Usually Mangalgiri handlooms are made in cotton or cotton and silk mix or mercerized cotton. There are some designs which are exclusively used in Mangalgiri fabrics known as “Nizam designs”. 


One of the most important aspects in making of a vibrant saree in Mangalgiri is the mixing of colours which will give unique and durable colour to the fabric and this process is called Dyeing of fabrics. 


The looms used in Mangalgiri are mostly Pit looms. Pit looms are looms which are fixed in the ground level and there will be a pit in which looms peddle will be placed and the weaver will sit on the floor and use his hands and legs to weave. The weavers are into this profession traditionally. The art of weaving is passed on by way of vision and practice. The handloom industry is searching for a breakthrough for survival.



Mangalgiri sarees have a very unique style and feel. They allow you to experiment and at the same time add’s a very subtle touch of our Indian culture to it. In short it is a perfect combination of fashion and tradition.
