Maharashtra

Paithani silks of Paithan, Karvati cottons of Vidarbha, and the Himroo brocades of Aurangabad — each tradition tied to a specific town.

Maharashtra's textile heritage is geographic: each weave belongs to a single town. Paithani comes only from Paithan; Himroo from Aurangabad; Karvati cotton from the Wardha basin. The state's silk traditions trace to the Satavahana and Yadava courts.
