Pochampally is a village renowned for its 5,000 looms, where every household participates in the remarkable craft of weaving Ikat silk sarees. This technique was the first Indian textile to receive Geographical Indication protection. These exquisite sarees are worn by Air India cabin crew.
The design is not added post-weaving but is intricately embedded in the threads before the loom is set up. Each thread is individually tied and dyed to ensure it carries its precise part of the pattern. This unique method results in a design that floats between the weave layers, unlike any other technique.
This tour offers an immersive experience into the homes of the weavers, a visit to the 24-acre textile park, and a trip to the weaving museum, where the village’s history and its connection with the Bhoodan land reform movement are fully explored.
