description
This Maheshwari dupatta is finely handwoven in cotton and silk. The Maheshwari carries forward the legacy and vision of a phenomenal queen. Considered one of the ‘youngest’ weaves of India, the Maheshwari was specially created in the 18th century, when Queen Ahilyabai Holkar invited weavers to settle in her capital, Maheshwar in Madhya Pradesh. With the coolness of cotton, the lustre of silk and a lightness ideal for the hot Indian plains, the designs of the Maheshwari are inspired by the temples and ghats of Ahilyabai’s capital.
