Welcome to Bhavana Handlooms, your trusted source for authentic handwoven textiles that celebrate India’s rich heritage. Among our exquisite offerings, the Mangalagiri Collection stands out as a true testament to traditional craftsmanship and timeless elegance. Known for its distinctive weaving technique and pure cotton fabric, Mangalagiri textiles have been cherished for centuries and continue to be a symbol of cultural pride and everyday comfort.

What is Mangalagiri Fabric?

Originating from the town of Mangalagiri in Andhra Pradesh, this fabric is renowned for its fine cotton weave, durability, and lustrous finish. Mangalagiri fabric is traditionally made from 100% pure cotton, prized for its soft texture and breathability. Unlike many other cotton fabrics, Mangalagiri features a unique weaving style that produces a smooth, polished surface, giving the fabric a silk-like sheen without compromising its natural comfort.

The weaving process involves highly skilled artisans who meticulously craft each piece on handlooms, maintaining the integrity and authenticity of this heritage fabric. The result is a lightweight yet durable textile that feels soft against the skin and is perfect for India’s warm climate.

Rich Craftsmanship and Unique Features

What sets Mangalagiri textiles apart is not just the cotton quality but also the intricate weaving technique. The fabric is woven with extra care, using dyed yarns instead of printing, which results in vibrant and long-lasting colors. Traditional Mangalagiri fabrics often feature striking borders in contrasting colors, with motifs such as checks, stripes, and temple patterns woven into the design.

Our Mangalagiri collection at Bhavana Handlooms respects these age-old traditions while offering contemporary styles suitable for modern wardrobes. The blend of heritage and innovation makes each piece a unique work of art that you can wear proudly.
