KALAMKARI
This is a renowned traditional fabric of Andhra Pradesh.
The fabric is made of pure cotton and is famous for the beauty of the legendary themes
depicted. Pens inked with natural vegetable dyes are used for the painting and not any
chemicals.
The Artisans of Machilipatnam now produce
this fabric, which was earlier backed up financially by the Greeks during the time of
Alexander the Great.
