Ethnic Wear in Warangal

पोचमपल्ली इकत

Pochampally Ikat from Telangana is a GI-tagged warp-and-weft ikat textile tradition recognised as one of India's greatest handloom achievements. The village of Pochampally (Bhoodan Pochampally) near Hyderabad is the epicentre of this craft, where both warp and weft threads are resist-dyed before weaving to create the characteristic blurred-edge geometric patterns. Pochampally Ikat was the first textile product to receive GI status in India. The tradition produces silk and cotton sarees, dress materials, and home textiles with bold geometric designs.

Khada Dupatta is a traditional bridal textile from Hyderabad, a full-length ceremonial garment worn by Hyderabadi brides as an elaborate double-width stole embellished with Zardozi embroidery, sequins, and real Zari borders. The name derives from 'khada' meaning standing or tall, referring to its impressive dimensions and the way it is draped over the bridal lehenga. Rooted in the Nawabi court culture of Hyderabad, the Khada Dupatta represents the most elaborate form of the Deccani embroidery tradition and is an essential element of the Hyderabadi Muslim wedding trousseau.
