Incredible! Weaver crafts saree made entirely of gold in southern India
In an astonishing showcase of craftsmanship in southern India’s Telangana, a skilled weaver has created a saree made entirely of pure gold for a businessman’s daughter’s wedding.
The incident took place in Sircilla district on September 29.
Visuals showed the craftsman diligently working in the factory, transforming gold into fine threads and meticulously weaving them into an exquisite saree. The weavers were seen executing their tasks with precision, highlighting their exceptional skills in handloom weaving.
