The World famous Chettinadu Kandangi Sarees | Tamilnadu Tourism |

In association with Tamilnadu Tourism Department Corporation. Tamil Nadu is home to a multitude of traditional weaving hubs. One such region is Chettinad, known for its vibrant colours and cultures, majestic mansions and architectural feats and most importantly its handloom weaves. The 250-year old weave was made prominent by the wealthy Nagarathar community and has many intriguing fables woven into its folds. The gorgeous drapes of Chettinad, fondly called the Kandangi sarees are brought to life by a weaving community comprising a majority of artisans who have migrated from the Saurashtra region. With weaving hubs located in and around Karaikudi, there are over 200 weavers currently who keep the legacy of this timeless craft alive. As an appreciation for its quality and reputation, it was awarded a GI tag by the Government of India. Follow my updates on :
