Everlasting Pattu Sarees Till Holds a Place in Wardrobe..........from Unnati Silks

Silk Saree is referred to as ‘Pattu in the South. Each saree has intricate patterns woven in gold and silver threads, with additional finery through rich zari borders, kundan work, embroidery, patch work and other adornments, to assume regal grandeur. The painstaking effort, the purity of the raw material and the additions all add up to make the saree an exclusive offering.
The tradition of wearing Pattu silk sarees is widely prevalent. Pattus, though still a luxury till date is a must for most households. Worn sparingly, they are mainly displayed on occasions like weddings, auspicious rites, festivals and grand parties. The red (considered to be auspicious) colour and shades of red like pink and maroon are chosen for the bridal Pattu silk saree.
Almost the entire production of raw silk is from the states of Andhra Pradesh, Jammu and Kashmir, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu and West Bengal. Famous centres in South India where pure Pattu sarees are made, include Arani, Chettinad, Coimbatore, Rasipuram, Kanchipuram,Bangalore, Mysore,Gadwal, Narayanpet, PochampallyUppada and Venkatagiri.
