The beautiful conception of the Maheshwari saree dates back to 18th century Madhya Pradesh. These sarees were first found and produced in the town of Maheshwar, hence the name. These sarees were initially made of pure Silk, but with the passage of time, Cotton was also one of the major fabrics used for these exquisitely designed sarees.

The interesting legend behind these sarees is of Queen Ahilyabai Holkar who ordered various craftsman and artisans from Malwa and Surat to design a special saree with 9 yards, which later came to be known as the Maheshwari saree. These sarees were supposed to be a special gift for the royal relatives and guests who visited the palace.

Fabrics of Maheshwar are made from 100 percent pure silk yarn to make tissue fabrics. Tissue saree are mostly used for marriage ceremonies and generally maheshwari saree is made by silk and cotton or pure silk. Accordingly weaving is done using single cotton yarn or combination of silk yarn and cotton yarn in the same fabric with jari gold buta and buties. The main traditional designs are lahariya, chatai, Z diamond, Mukhda, Sakkar dana, etc.and the designs which are in the borders of saree’s are the designs of fort wall of Ahilya bai holkar situated at Maheshwar (madhya pradesh).
