Maheshwari sarees are a mix of silk and cotton, handwoven in Maheshwar, Madhya Pradesh. They date back to the 18th century when Queen Ahilyabai Holkar ordered craftsmen to design special 9-yard sarees. Initially exclusive to noblewomen, these sarees are now widely popular both domestically and internationally.

Maheshwari saree designs are inspired by the adornments on the walls of the Maheshwar Fort, featuring Chatai (mat), Chameli ka phool (chameli flower), Eent (brick), and Heera (diamond) motifs.

Maheshwari sarees originally used pure silk, but they evolved to include pure cotton and a silk-cotton blend. (with silk thread in the warp and cotton in the weft).

Maheshwari sarees were once only available in deep shades but now come in lighter hues with gold and silver threads. Popular colors include grape green, rani pink, and purple. Moreover, they are dyed with vegetable-based dyes.

Maheshwari sarees usually have a simple body with stripes or checks in various styles, some of which are well-known by their distinct names. The Chandrakala and Baingani Chandrakala represent plain Maheshwari sarees, while Chandra Tara, Beli, and Parbi are examples of striped and checked varieties.
