2. A Legacy of Craftsmanship – Short History

The art of Chanderi weaving dates back over 1,000 years to the ancient town of Chanderi in Madhya Pradesh, once a thriving hub on the Silk Route. Revered by royalty and Mughal courts, Chanderi silk was prized for its gossamer lightness, mirror-like sheen, and intricate zari work.

Shanmuga Priya & Azhagi honors this legacy by partnering with third-generation handloom weavers from Malwa, reviving traditional techniques passed down through families. Each Pure Chanderi Silk Salwar is woven on pit looms using pure silk and real zari, taking 3–5 days to complete.

Our commitment to preserving India’s textile heritage means every thread tells a story – of patience, pride, and the quiet artistry of rural India. This collection is a tribute to the weaver’s loom, where every motif is a mark of identity and every saree or suit a piece of living history.
