Maheshwari Sarees & Fabric
Maheshwari Sarees were introduced into Maheshwar 250 years ago by Rani Ahilyabai, and are renowned throughout India for their unique weave. Woven mostly in cotton, the typical Maheshwari saree has a plain body and sometimes stripes or checks in several variations. The mat bordered designs have a wide range in leaf and floral patterns. The pallav is particularly distinctive with 5 stripes, 3 coloured and 2 white alternating, running along its width. Maheshwari has a reversible border, known as bugdi. There are many shops in Maheshwar which sell these sarees & fabrics. The present King Richard has reinvented this art & created his own brand Rehwa Srees. You can see the unit while doing palace tour. But the Rehwa brand is expensive as compared to the market rates.
