Most artisans who excel in creating this craft live in Pochampally, which is a cluster of 80 villages in Andhra Pradesh. These villages are equipped with traditional looms whose structural designs are from centuries ago.The intricate geometric design is unique to these weaves and makes them stand apart. It takes a family of four to 10 days to weave one saree.

These hand woven fabrics are woven in an extremely interesting way.  What sets it apart from other fabrics is the fact that the warps and weft threads are dyed first and then added to the loom to create the fabric.
