Mangalagiri Cotton Sarees (For 30% Discount use - GOLKONDA30 - at check out)

Mangalagiri sarees are woven from pure durable cotton and feature tribal designs, while borders have closely knit patterns embroidered with zari.  The pallu is typically striped in tribal style.  The body does not have any designs, and the border comes in Nizam style, with no gaps in the edge. 

The yarn is first boiled in water with caustic soda and soap to remove and impurities and make the yarn soft.  Then it is soaked and rinsed in the water, then it ready for dyeing.  Dyeing is done using chemical colors.  Then the yarn is again boiled in water with soda and soap to remove any excess color and dried in the open or in the shade depending on the color.
