Before you order

What is the minimum order?

Single pieces for sampling, or sets of 6 for stocking. Mixed sets across designs and colours can be arranged on WhatsApp.

Handloom or powerloom — what's the difference?

Handloom is woven by hand on a frame loom and shows small variations in the weave. Powerloom is machine-woven for a consistent finish at a lower rate. Each design in the catalogue is marked.

Do you send outside Varanasi?

Yes, to boutiques across India by transport or courier. Freight is quoted on WhatsApp when your tray is confirmed.

Can I see the fabric before I pay?

Visit Madanpura to handle pieces in person, or ask for close-up photos and short videos on WhatsApp.

How does the order tray work?

Add designs to your tray, choose pieces or sets, and send it as a WhatsApp message. Nothing is charged on this site. Stock, final rate and payment terms are confirmed in the chat.
