why ikkat Saree's made only in pochampally
Answers
Answer:
Bhoodan Pochampally marked its rightful place in Indian history as a silk mine in the 18th century. The weaving process of the traditional Pochampally ikat sarees is said to be brought to the small town of Pochampally from Chirala where the art was locally referred to as chit-ku. The technique has been widely applauded because of the fabric’s unique identity, as compared to other Ikat producing units.
Starting with a small pool of weavers, the town soon came to be known for the classic fabric that they could produce, one that could compete with every silk manufacturer in the country. By 1999, the manufacturing unit had grown to over ten thousand families, and the process was more maker-friendly, cost effective and time saving.
With the introduction of machines in 2000, Pochampally ikat sarees were not just produced faster and without error, but also with precision and a perfection that was hard to find elsewhere.
