Uppada Pattu Saree

The Uppada Jamdani silk saree dates back to the 18th century when Jamdani, a Persian word, denoting an art of weaving that originated In Bengal, was revived and introduced to weavers in the twin coastal villages of Uppada Kothapalli in the Kakinada district of Andhra Pradesh.

The saree, also coined as Andhra Uppada is inspired by the Jamdani tradition but maintains a distinct local character resulting in acquisition of a GI tag in 2009, with paisley, floral and geometric motifs woven on the finest of pure silk.
