Gadwal weaving is known for its interlocked weave, in which the silk border and pallu are joined to the body with a tight interlocking of the weft threads. This gives the saree a light body and a rich, bold border. The zari checks, the gold and silver buttas and the peacock and fish motifs in the pallu are all woven on the loom, with careful setting of the warp and weft.

Gadwal is a town in Telangana, and its weavers have made sarees for generations. The designs draw on temple architecture and nature, including peacocks, paisleys, fish and medallions. Gadwal sarees are valued for being light to wear and for their bold contrast between body and border.
