The main body of the saree is weaved by hand in looms. Whereas the weaving process of the pallu and border is similar to the tapestry weaving technique. Paithani Sarees that come in silk are so beautiful that a woman cannot stop herself from wearing them. Paithani Silk Sarees are carried by many Bollywood actresses as well.
