The Venkatgiri Sarees of Andhra Pradesh
If you thought the Indian culture manifested itself only by its magnificent architecture comprisingof temples and monuments, then you are probably unaware of the rich textile heritage the country boasts as well. Of all the important facts, the one that needs special mention is that the people of the Indian civilization were the first to discover the cotton plant and its ultimate use towards making clothes. Since olden times, cotton has been among the most chosen textile fabric and continues to be so even today. While silk displayed opulence, cotton was a symbol of simplicity and gentleness of manner and conduct. Silk is not within the range of everybody but the humble cotton is. And a combination of two completes the look of virtually any piece of clothing.
