In the ancient village of Pochampally live thousands of weavers who ply their loom to create the most complex designs through the warp and weft. Here, the art of Ikkat weaving is honed to a degree of precision that fills the onlooker with awe and it has placed this centre of silk weaving, 45 km. from Hyderabad, on the textile map of the world.
