A visit to the unit of Indian emporium! A few months ago, I had the splendid opportunity to experience the beauty of different handlooms of India at Gaurang Shah's store in Hyderabad, which is a unit of Indian emporium! The story of Indian textiles is one of the oldest globally, and every weave has a history. While cotton, silk, and wool fabrics are the three materials from which textiles are woven, India is known for the highest quality of its textiles. During my visit, I was introduced to many fascinating fabrics, weaves, knits and yarns -- designs created by over 800 weavers and artisans from across 16 states in India. I witnessed so many cultures intertwine; the designs, the texture, the inspiration on the sarees in his boutique were all centred around Indian traditions and roots.

The base fabric of the anarkali is from Kota, Rajasthan, the chikankari hand embroidery is from Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh, and the dupatta is from Andhra Pradesh. The base design is recreated from Kanchipuram, and the border design is from Maharashtra. The design was created from the legacy of two states and three textiles. Every country has its own rich culture, tradition, and heritage. India is the most diverse country in the world, and the diversity can be witnessed in the different cuisines, aromas, tastes, textiles, emotions that one cannot find elsewhere.
