Nev...Wonderful to know about this variety of Saree. Never knew a saree could sell at even a half a million !! My God ! Anji lachha rupayee !!!<br /><br />Saritha, do a feature on Gadwal Sarees too.<br /><br />It is quite a Romantic story as to how Gadwal Weavers started producing Cotton Sarees with Zari (Gold) Borders. It is said that the Queen of Gadwal, {you know Gadwal was a small Samasthanam (sort of a small Raja's principality,under the Hyderabad Nizams. It is about 120 Kms south of Hyderabad,on the Hyderabad---Bangalore National Highway No.7.its actually 9 Kms off the Highway)},wanted to wear only Cotton Sarees but loved Zari Borders. Now Zari Borders come only on Silk Sarees.The Queen expressed her desire to find a solution for this dilemma.The Cotton Weavers were perplexed,but one young enterprising Weaver tried an experiment on his own and wove a Zari Border on a Cotton Saree !!. He presented it to the Queen. Lo. she was very happy and richly rewarded not only this weaver but all those weavers who could do this with great incentives.<br />And the Gadwal Sarees became popular all over.<br />Parsa V R Rao.I may not agree with one word you sayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01644915325372629722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20464599.post-36022738104643287792009-10-14T01:17:40.094-04:002009-10-14T01:17:40.094-04:00Hi Saritha, enjoyed your write-up about Paithini.....Hi Saritha, enjoyed your write-up about Paithini...I think every woman must own at least one of these!Pratibhahttp://pedatha.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20464599.post-55161971315114675302009-07-20T08:48:00.051-04:002009-07-20T08:48:00.051-04:00I have never been in India, but the richness of co...I have never been in India, but the richness of colours, patterns and beautifull fabrics makes me very eager to do it once in my life.
