Chirala saris are traditional handwoven sarees that originated in the Chirala town of Prakasam district in Andhra Pradesh, India. These saris are known for their unique weaving style, fine quality, and intricate designs. Chirala saris are made of cotton, silk, or a blend of the two, and are woven using the Jamdani technique, which involves weaving the motifs directly into the fabric using a non-structural weft.
Chirala saris are lightweight and have a sheer texture, making them perfect for hot and humid weather. They come in a wide range of colors and designs, with floral, geometric, and paisley patterns being some of the most popular. The borders and pallus of Chirala saris are usually embellished with intricate embroidery or zari work, adding to their elegance and beauty.
Chirala saris are highly valued for their quality and craftsmanship and are popular among women in Andhra Pradesh and other parts of India. They are also exported to various countries around the world. The Chirala Handloom Saree Cluster is a government-supported initiative that aims to promote and preserve the art of Chirala handloom weaving.
