Road, Alwarpet, from October 30 to November 11. This year, ancient craft of three shuttle weaving and interlocking weft are ornamented with unusual motifs, inspired from temples, sculptures and architecture. Cotton yarns blended with organic fibres from fruits/vegetable extracts render smoother drape and a nice fall.

A huge variant of Resham saris (wild silk), which are hand painted, sketched or embroidered, are also on display. Price starts from Rs. 2,400. The dress materials are completely hand-woven in colourful hues. The exhibition will be open from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. (including Sundays and holidays).
