A whopping 121 hues and labour of 10 years, all aimed at a national award
Boga Balaiah, a traditional handloom weaver from Pochampally village in Yadadri Bhuvanagiri district, has put the colour wheel to shame with his effort in creating a sari.
A whopping 121 hues and an equal number of motifs embellish the 5.5 yard wonder he has woven magic into, after strenuous work of two years.
Through the Ikat dyed mercerised cotton sari, which holds one motif in each box of separate shade as part of the design, Balaiah is aiming for a national award from the Ministry of Textiles.
