Kupadam Sarees

The figurines depicted are mostly from Indian epics and it involves twenty-three steps. There are two distinctive styles of kupadam art in Sri Nagavalli – the Kupadam style and the Machilipatnam style. The Kuppadam silk cotton sarees are a unique blend of silk cotton body and pure silk, zari woven border. They are the masterpieces made by weavers in the village of Kuppadam, Andhra Pradesh. The salient feature of these sarees is that the border and body are woven separately and then joined together in korvai weaving to give you the lightness of silk cotton and shimmer of the silk zari border.
