The Handloom is a manually operated machine that is used to make authentic fabrics. In our case we use handloom silk, cotton.  It was invented during ancient times and has been adjusted as it passed through generations. One reason the handloom has lasted through time is because it runs completely on human energy.

Handloom saree weaving process. Each and every thread of the gadwal saree is woven with hands. All the process involved in weaving a saree is carried out manually no machine is used in any of the steps. Each weaver works from home with all his/her family helping in different steps of the process. Their life revolves around weaving.
