उत्तर
Patola textiles come from Gujarat, India and are made by the Salvi community in Patan. They use a double ikat technique, dyeing both the warp and weft threads before weaving. Traditional motifs include geometric patterns, flora, fauna, and religious symbols that represent cultural and spiritual beliefs. Patola textiles were traditionally worn by kings and elites, representing luxury and dignity. Patola saris are no longer only worn by royalty, despite their high cost due to the intricate weaving process.
