Uppada, Andhra Pradesh

Uppada

Jamdani-inspired extra-weft motifs on silk, airy enough to float.

Origin

Jamdani-inspired extra-weft motifs on silk, airy enough to float. The craft lives in its town: looms in courtyards, yarn in the market, and a language of motifs passed within families.

Craft history

Like most Indian weaves, Uppada grew from local fibre, court or temple demand, and the patience of households. Sahasrabha works with weavers who still keep that continuity.

How it is made

Yarn is prepared, dyed and warped. The body is woven pick by pick; borders and pallu may be joined, extra-wefted or printed. Finishing — washing, calendaring, inspection — is as considered as the weave itself.
