Paithan

Tags: Getaway

Paithan is a village in Aurangabad. It is located 56 km south of Aurangabad. It is the ancient capital of Satvahanas. The hamlet is famous for its 6 yards silk brocade sarees. The name of the saree is also Paithan.

The hamlet follows the 2000 year old convention of saree weaving. The sarees woven of silk with dainty zari borders are a feast to the eyes.

Beautiful Silk from Paithani was merchandised to many countries in return for gold and precious stones.

Conventional originative art and conscientious workmanship fuse to form this unparalleled cloth. The cost of the sarees range anywhere from Rs 6,000 to Rs 5,00,000.
