Maheshwari weaving is a traditional Indian handloom craft from Maheshwar, Madhya Pradesh, known for its exquisite saris and fabrics. Its key features include a comfortable blend of silk and cotton, resulting in lightweight and airy textiles. The distinctive element is often the reversible border, known as 'bugdi' or 'kilkila', and classic geometric patterns, stripes, or checks. Historically patronized by Queen Ahilyabai Holkar, it represents a blend of royal elegance and practical comfort, making it a cherished part of India's textile heritage.
