Pochampally silk saree – Devotion and dedication undimmed over time

Pochampally silks sarees are woven by the ikkat technique. Ikat, or Ikkat, is a dyeing technique wherein bindings or substances resisting dye penetration are applied over the fibres in pre-determined patterns and then the threads are dyed.

Pochampally in Nalagonda district of Andhra Pradesh, India, is well-known for its Pochampally brand of fabrics, being cottonsilk or a combination of the two. Pochampally silks are woven by the ikkat technique. Ikat, or Ikkat, is a dyeing technique wherein bindings or substances resisting dye penetration are applied over the fibres in pre-determined patterns and then the threads are dyed.


Alteration of bindings and using more than one colour for dyeing produces multi-coloured thread effect. Removal of the bindings and the subsequent weaving of the threads would form the desired patterns woven in the fabric. The determining characterstic of ikat is the dyeing of patterns, by means of bindings, on the threads prior to the weaving of the fabric. More the precision in application of the resist bindings, finer would be the pattern formed.


Pochampally silks come in a wide range of colours and with unique patterns. The artistic excellence of ikat prints can be gauged from its traditional motifs of flowers, dancing girl, creepers, leafs, parrot, animals, birds, mythological characters and geometrical patterns. Most of the Ikkat printed sarees and salwar kameez have repeated geometrical patterns of diamonds (rattan cowk), circles, squares, lines etc.
