Pochampally

From Andhra Pradesh & Telangana

Telangana ikat — geometric, diamond-grid patterns achieved by tying and dyeing yarn before it ever hits the loom. GI-protected since 2005.

Pochampally — properly Bhoodan Pochampally — is the heart of Telugu ikat. Single, double, and combined ikat are all woven here, with characteristic diamond-grid (chowka) and dotted-line motifs.
