Mashru Weavers

             Before 50 years ago in Patan in Gujarat there had 400 peat looms but now a days there are only 30 peat looms very less weavers are present now a days, No one new comer will come to in this business even work too, I found that weavers are more healthy and they have a long life because of  Mashru Weaving during work time their hands and legs have good exercise.This Mashru weaving is based on mathematics, weavers are not educated but their maths so excellent due to this work. Weavers making Design by counting each silk stripe. Making one complete Mashru piece 8 to 9 process have to do.

              There is such a innovative fabric made by Mahru weavers. In this work two cast involved Khatri and Muslim, Both their people are work together and they are dependable to each other.

    They are making different kind of design like Khajuri,Kankan,Mamool,Panch Pato etc...

History Of Mashru                    Mashru fabric is special made for Islamic people. The Mashru fabric was introduced by Mughal Empire in the 16 th century. The aim of development of Mashru fabric was, because in their religion they could not wear silk so they had to decide to made it. Mahrsu fabric upper part is silk and bottom part is cotton. So do to this the cotton is touched to body and silk is not touched to body. You can wear Mashru material in any season. During winter season silk protected you by cold and in summer season cotton is useful for sweat. In Arab and Iraq country people are wearing Mashru fabric more. Mahsru is more famous for its signing. This mahsru is only weaving in Gujarat Patan and two community people work together for making this Mahsru, the two communities are Khatri and Muslim.  KATARIA Mashru
