    ilakal is new to me @Anisu. mysore silk the first saree i bought my mom 30yrs back with the money saved.:blush:

    does kadavu have a special pattern or something..
    venkatagiri sarees.

    the lucknowi chickankari sarees,
    phulkari sarees i presume punjab, the sozni sarees from j&k,
    kutch, minakari sarees,
    again kalahasti kalamkari

    chirala (ap) cotton sarees, kota sarees, kora sarees. organza?
    jute,khadi,linen and banana fibre sarees

    personally a cotton and cotton blend saree lover.
    but would love to get a toda embroidered saree. there is something pleasing in the geometrical prescision of the embroidery.


    the mixing of traditions and regions has made inroads in reviving the 6 yards..
