The Koshtis are a group of Maratha and Telugu weavers of cloth made of silk and fine cotton.They consider themselves to be descendants of a famous saint, named Markandi Rishi. It is said that he wove cloth from the fibers of the lotus flower to cover the nakedness of the gods. In appreciation for clothing them, he was married to the daughter of Surya, the sun and received a giant named Bhavani and a tiger as a dowry.
