2. A Legacy of Craftsmanship – The Story Behind the Saree

The Maheshwari Geecha Border Saree traces its roots to the 18th century, when Queen Ahilyabai Holkar of Indore patronized master weavers from Surat to create a unique textile identity for her kingdom of Maheshwar. Over centuries, this craft evolved into the iconic Maheshwari saree—known for its lightweight texture, reversible borders, and symbolic chowk (geometric) motifs called "Geecha."

Each saree is handloom-woven using traditional pit looms, preserving centuries-old techniques. At Saree Story with Shanmuga Priya & Azhagi, we collaborate directly with Maheshwar’s weaving clusters to revive rare Geecha patterns while blending them with South Indian aesthetics—symbolizing unity in diversity. Our brand honors real artisans, ensuring fair wages and sustainable practices. This isn’t just a saree; it’s wearable history.
