Abstract

India, the land of culture and crafts, has been known to the world for its magnificent textile arts since ages.

Moreover, it can be a better way to preserve the Indian cultural heritage as well as to maintain the value of inimitable Indian textiles. Therefore, the researchers have put forth this innovative idea into practice. It has revolutionized the world of designing by bringing in a change in existing style of designing for woven materials like sarees, kurtis and skirts. The research and related designs can meet the ever changing needs of the customers as they are ethnically trendy and appealing to the fashion world. Not only this, the concept will further open a new vista for weaving industry.
