About the Craft
Dharmavaram has earned its place on India's textile map through centuries of silk weaving excellence. The town's reputation rests on its weavers' extraordinary skill in creating sarees that combine technical precision with aesthetic magnificence. This pink Dharmavaram saree is woven using 14/16 denier two-ply warp threads and 18/20 denier two-ply weft threads, a combination that results in fabric of exceptional strength and lustrous finish. The weavers work on traditional pit looms, their hands moving with practiced rhythm as they create the signature broad borders that define Dharmavaram sarees. The golden zari work requires particular expertise, as the precious metal threads must be woven with perfect tension to create the elaborate brocade patterns on the pallu. The contrasting border design, a hallmark of Dharmavaram weaving, involves careful colour coordination and precise weaving techniques that have been perfected over generations.
Speciality
Dharmavaram sarees have long been synonymous with bridal elegance, and this pink beauty exemplifies why. The saree's construction using two-ply threads ensures exceptional durability, making it an heirloom piece that can be treasured for generations. The broad borders create a dramatic frame that enhances the wearer's presence, whilst the intricate zari work on the pallu catches light beautifully, creating a luminous effect perfect for wedding ceremonies. The solid pink colour provides a canvas of elegance, allowing the golden zari artistry to shine.
How to Care?
This precious Dharmavaram silk saree requires professional dry cleaning only to preserve the silk's lustre and protect the delicate zari work. Store flat or rolled, never hung, in a cotton or muslin cloth to allow the fabric to breathe.
This handloom Dharmavaram silk pink saree represents the pinnacle of Andhra Pradesh's weaving tradition, offering you bridal elegance steeped in heritage and crafted for eternity.
