Arani silk sarees have been recognized with a Geographical Indication (GI) tag since 2008. Silk weaving in Arani dates back centuries, flourishing under Chola dynasty patronage. The craft was shaped by the Saurashtrian weaving community, who settled in the region during the Vijayanagara period. These sarees are lightweight, soft, durable, and low-maintenance. Traditional dobby weaving has evolved into jacquard technology, allowing motifs like plus putta, kottadi checks, temple designs, mango and peacock motifs, with contrasting borders on both sides.
