Mangalagiri Sarees they use Nizam design, which make it more elegant.

Sarees are my Passion Mangalagiri Cotton Fabric


It is said that as per the ancient traditions, the pilgrims had to purchase a sari from the local weavers after offering obeisance to the lord, which was another way of giving a livelihood to the local weavers. Thus grew the popularity of the Mangalgiri sari. The pillar is proof enough that the Mangalgiri handloom tradition has been a part of the town for more than five centuries.

The Mangalgiri saree has no embellishments on its main body. It has a zari or golden thread work embellished Nizam border and pallu. These geometrical and simple designs are inspired by the tribal designs. A lot of the new generation enjoy wearing the cool cotton kurtas, dupattas and stoles with the Mangalgiri weave which can be teamed up with western wear for a funky Indo-Western look.
