This video is going to be a unique one as we are going to explore a different aspect of the city which most tourist tend to skip when in Maheshwar. We are going to take you to a handloom, here we will learn the whole process involved in the making of the famous Maheshwari Saree. Let me take you back to history to know how this saree came into existence. A centre for prime handloom weaving since the 5th Century, Maheshwar, an ancient town on the banks of Narmada, was originally the capital of the Malwas during the Maratha Holkar reign till January 1818, and enjoyed a considerably elevated status in terms of royal interests. It is believed that in the 18th century when Rani Ahilyabai Holkar ruled Indore in Madhya Pradesh, the Maheshwari sarees took birth.
Legend has it that Rani Ahilya Bai Holkar employed a special team of craftsmen from Surat and Malwa to design an exclusive nine-yard saree that could be gifted to her relatives and guests who visited the palace. With the first saree conceived and designed by Her Highness herself, Maheshwari sarees went on to become a huge hit in the royal and aristocratic circle. Following this, the production of Maheshwari sarees caught up, and these graceful sarees soon started becoming popular with women of all ages. Today, this beautiful textile is one of the best sellers in both national and international markets! The Maheshwari sarees traditionally were made only in pure silk. With changing times, it was produced in pure cotton as well as in cotton and silk mixtures (cotton in the weft, silk in the warp). In the present day, wool is also used in the production of Maheshwari saree. There are hundreds of handlooms where local weavers were busy weaving colourful sarees and we happened to visit one such handloom to show you what we learnt. The sarees are so beautiful one cannot resist the temptation to buy one and we did buy a couple of them. Hope you guys will like it.
