Authentic Telia Rumal Handloom Cotton Saree - Traditional Ikat Weave from Puttapaka

The Heritage of Telia Rumal Weaving

The Telia Rumal weaving tradition is most famously practiced in Puttapaka village (Telangana) and also has strong roots in Nalgonda district (Andhra region). It is a special form of Ikat weaving where yarns are treated with oil (tel in Telugu) before dyeing, which gives the fabric a rich texture and deep colors.

Traditionally, Telia Rumals were used as square cloths (rumal = handkerchief/scarf) and later adapted into sarees, dupattas, and stoles. Woven with a fine 100-thread count cotton, this saree drapes like a dream, making it perfect for both everyday elegance and grand occasions.

Who Wears It Best?
