Mangalgiri saris of Andhra are simple saris with broad borders woven with gold or copper thread. The cotton body has small checks or stripes against a backdrop of bright color. The pallus don solid zari or small golden stripes.
These sarees have a heavy zari border and simple mono-striped pallu of solid or striped zari threads. The field colors are often very vibrant shot weaves or small checks that dance and glimmer in harmony with the rich zari. The cloth is super finely woven with a crisp finish. .
Thick lines of lustrous zari adorn the pallus in typical tribal style. The border zari work is very dense giving the sari a beautiful drape.
