Maheshwari Silk Cottons

Origin and Legacy:
Maheshwari, named after the town of Maheshwar in Madhya Pradesh, India, is a handloom weaving tradition that dates back centuries.
The weavers, known as Devangas, have meticulously preserved this craft, passing down their skills through generations.
Maheshwari textiles were initially woven exclusively for the royal families of Central India, including the Holkars of Indore.
Distinctive Features:
Silk Cotton Blend: Maheshwari sarees and suits are crafted from a blend of silk and cotton. This combination ensures a comfortable drape while retaining the luxurious sheen of silk.

Sarees: Maheshwari silk cotton sarees come in various styles, including plain body sarees, checks, stripes, and intricate motifs. The pallu often features contrasting colors and exquisite designs.
Suit Pieces: Maheshwari silk cotton suit pieces are equally popular. They typically include a kurta (top), salwar (bottom), and a matching or contrasting dupatta (scarf).
Wearing Maheshwari:
Sarees: Drape a Maheshwari saree elegantly, allowing the zari border to peek out. Pair it with a contrasting blouse and minimal jewelry.
Suit Sets: Stitch a Maheshwari suit set into a comfortable kurta and salwar ensemble. The dupatta adds a touch of grace.
