The Speciality of Mangalgiri Blouse Fabrics 

Mangalgiri fabrics are a prominent handloom item from Andhra Pradesh. Mangalgiri is named after the town of Mangalgiri, which is 12 kilometres from Vijayawada. Mangalgiri is well-known for its exquisite sarees and for being a renowned pilgrimage place. This unique mangalgiri fabric features beautiful tribal designs woven in cotton and zari or golden coloured patterns in small checks. Mangalgiri saree's pallu (edge) is embellished with a striped motif, a traditional tribal ornament composed of golden embroidery. Mangalgiri blouse materials are available in various bright colours to look very attractive.

Cotton yarn purchased from mills is used to produce Mangalgiri cotton fabric. After that, the cotton yarn is boiled in water and caustic soda for a few hours before being dyed. If the yarn is used to make white coloured sarees, it is bleached before weaving; otherwise, chemical dyes are used to colour the yarn. The yarn is sun-dried after being dyed and is now ready for weaving. Because mangalgiri blouse fabrics only feature a zari border, the cloth is solely woven on pit looms, allowing the weaver to exert significantly greater energy during the weaving process without gaps. Mangalgiri textiles are distinguished from other weaves by this feature. There are no decorations on the main body of the Mangalgiri cotton fabric. Instead, the Nizam border and pallu are adorned with zari or golden thread work. The tribal designs inspired these geometrical and basic designs.
