 A traditional occupation involving whole families in the making, it is knowledge gained from experience and experiment, shared and passed down from generation to generation.  Mangalagiri weavers are devoted to their craft.  They also have a clear idea about market trends. Organised into co-operatives, they follow the market to incorporate current demands in their weaves.The GeographicalIndication (GI) Status accorded to the Mangalagiri Handlooms this year has ushered in much sought relief from weaver woes.High price of raw materials, coupled with spurious goods and nearby local industries affixing the  Mangalagiri Handlooms label to their goods without the traditional quality in their fabrics, was bad enough.
