Gadwal is a small town in Telangana state, India, known for its
fine pure cotton handlooms. Traditional weaves in cotton, with a lot of zari
work on the saree, it elevates the appeal massively. While the base of the
Gadwal saree is cotton, there is a loosely attached silk border and the fabric
is traditionally woven in the interlocked-weft technique, called Kupadam or
Kuttu. Most of the Gadwal sarees have a rich border, a different pallu and gold
or silver zari brocades. Hand crafted designs on pure gadwal cotton have
traditional colours for these sarees as earth shades of brown, grey, and
off-white. Mythical carvings, floral designs, exquisite designs, attractive
prints with rich zari work, heighten the elegance of the wearer of the Gadwal
Salwar kameez.. Of late the block printed Gadwal handloom cotton salwar kamiz
having intricate silk or golden zari border and elegant dupatta, a combination
of cotton and silk, is an image-booster for corporate offices, or a welcome
change during festivals, traditional meetings and inaugural functions.
Salwar kameez - traditional
Indian ethnic or fashion apparel?
The Salwar kameez or
shalwar kamiz, with covering piece dupatta or chunni, is worn in India and a
few neighbouring countries in the Asian sub-continent. The shalwar kameez, is
the traditional dress in the Northern belt especially Punjab, Haryana and Himachal
Pradesh, some parts of Rajasthan and Jammu and Kashmir and in parts of the
Indian subcontinent like Pakistan and Afghanistan.
Today also favoured as
stylish fashion apparel, across India and in many countries with Indian
population overseas like US, UK, Canada etc., it is also an accepted
alternative for the versatile Indian saree. The Salwar suit has evolved from a
traditional dress to reach the level of a modern style statement. In vivid,
vibrant colours, exquisite designs and a lot of other adornments, it has been a
favourite along with the saree for Indian fashion designers to experiment upon.
