Handloom vs. Powerloom — Why the Difference Matters

A handloom saree is woven on a manual loom — usually a pit loom or frame loom — by a human weaver passing the shuttle by hand. A powerloom saree, in contrast, is woven on an electric machine that can produce dozens of metres per hour.

Handloom sarees from Mau are softer, more breathable, and carry tiny irregularities that confirm authenticity. They support traditional weaver livelihoods and qualify under the Handloom Reservation Act of India. Powerloom sarees, while cheaper, do not.

The Mau Handloom Cluster

Mau district in eastern Uttar Pradesh has been a recognised handloom cluster for over a century. Weaving families across Malik Tahir Pura, Sadar Bazaar, Walidpur and surrounding mohallas operate thousands of pit looms inside their homes.

Mau's handloom output includes pure cotton sarees, silk-cotton blends, Katan silk, Tanchoi, and Jamdani Banarasi — all woven by hand with traditional motifs.

Our Handloom Saree Categories

KashiAura's Mau handloom range covers: pure cotton daily-wear sarees, silk-cotton festive sarees, Katan silk bridal sarees, Tanchoi and Jamdani Banarasi handlooms, Khaddi Georgette handlooms, and natural-dye special edition pieces.

Every handloom saree carries the weaver's reference code on its tag and a fabric composition note, so you know exactly what you are buying.
