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.
