Narayanpet is a town in Andhra Pradesh that specializes in handloom saris.
The Narayanpet saris are noted for their broad borders and pallus or pullavs. These saris are made from cotton or cotton mingled with silk yarn. The main characteristic of the traditional Narayanpet sari is the alternate red and white bands of the pallu. The borders are generally colored maroon red or chocolate red with white or colored lines on them.
The skilled weavers of Andhra Pradesh create vibrantly tribal style sarees appropriate for everyday wear. Hard working village women wear these sarees daily and enjoy their breezy soft finish on a hot day.
Narayanpet handlooms feature stark and simple tribal style in bold colors.
