2. A Legacy of Craftsmanship – The Story Behind Patola

Patola weaving is a 900-year-old double ikat tradition originating in Patan, Gujarat, once patronized by royal courts and Jain merchants. Revered as one of the world’s most complex textile arts, authentic Patola requires two master weavers working in perfect synchrony to align dyed threads into symmetrical, mirror-image patterns. Today, fewer than five families preserve this dying art—making every Patola saree a rare cultural treasure. At Shanmuga Priya & Azhagi, we partner directly with these artisans to revive and sustain this legacy, ensuring each saree honors centuries of skill, patience, and storytelling through silk.
