Pure Mangalagiri Digital Dupattas

Fabric Base: The base fabric is typically pure Mangalagiri cotton or a Mangalagiri cotton-silk blend (often referred to as Mangalagiri Pattu/Silk Cotton). These fabrics are renowned for their:

Lightweight and breathable texture.

Softness and durability due to the tight weave from the traditional pit looms.

Distinctive Nizam/Temple Border: Authentic Mangalagiri fabrics traditionally have a handwoven zari (gold or silver thread) border, which is often incorporated into the dupatta, even when the body has a digital print.

Digital Print: The digital print adds intricate, high-definition designs that may not be possible with traditional hand-weaving or block-printing techniques. Popular designs include:

Kalamkari Digital Prints: Blending the classic art form with the modern printing on the smooth Mangalagiri fabric.

Floral, geometric, or abstract patterns.

Aesthetics: They offer a blend of ethnic heritage (the handloom fabric and border) with contemporary style (the vibrant and detailed digital print).
