Chanderi Sarees

Shishupal, Lord Krishna’s cousin was the person who found this art of weaving Chanderi and gifted it to royals and emperors. The credit for patronizing the silk is also shared with Mughals, which then became their favorite drape.

On the fine piece of colored fabric of silk, various designs, motifs, floral art, geometric designs were carefully handcrafted. Owing to the growing demand, there are several families, which learned the art, and almost 3,500 looms giving jobs to almost 18,000 people directly or indirectly, had changed the course of history, and the livelihood of the people in Madhya Pradesh.
