Nestled among nine mountains – Navanthapuram, now called Armoor – is known for its exquisite saree designs. One of the fastest-growing towns in Telangana, the sarees of Armoor have managed to keep their appeal alive in them, across years and generations.
Popular for their richness, heaviness and quality, Armoor sarees have been popular since olden times. Especially known for their extra-weft techniques, zari border and pallu, these sarees possess an unmistakably unique shine. Akin to most southern weaves, even Armoor sarees are woven using the interlocking technique (known as 'kuttu' in Telugu) in order to bring contrasting colours to its borders. This silk range in Armoor is also considered to party be a reinterpretation of the cotton sarees of Narayanpet. Thanks to the initiative of Rani Kumudini Devi of Wanaparthy, since 1930, a novel range of silk evolved in Kothakota with motifs that resembled the ones from Varanasi. In the case of Armoor, one could trace it back to a variety of motifs such as bird's-eye, pitambaralu and vine-and-leaf patterned border range. Armoor sarees are woven by a large settlement of warriors originally from Rajasthan, called the Khatris. Their dialect is a potpourri of Gujarati, Rajasthani and Marathi, with a dash of Telugu.
Depending on the complexity of the design, the making of an Armoor saree requires the labour of 2 weavers and a time range of 3-7 days for fruition
