The Art of Ikkat: Unraveling the Intricacies of a Timeless Craft
Ikat, derived from 'Mengikat', entails pre-dyeing yarns before weaving, yielding patterns on both sides of the fabric. Its blurred motifs reflect the weaver's skill. Originating from Southeast Asia, it spread to India through trade routes. Andhra Pradesh/Telangana, Gujarat, and Odisha are key centers.
