The art of weaving Paithanis flourished in 200 BC and since then has been a precious Indian heirloom. Traditionally, the Paithanis were woven with a pure silk yarn and metallic gold threads, called Zari. What sets a Paithani apart is that no mechanical means are used to produce these designs. Master Paithani weavers count the threads of the wrap for each part of the design and using tiny cloth pins, interlock the silk or gold yarn on the weft with them.
