In a remarkable feat of craftsmanship, a Sircilla-based weaving artist Nalla Vijay Kumar has unveiled a masterpiece, a saree made entirely of gold. The unique creation was commissioned by a Hyderabad-based businessman for his daughter’s wedding.

The order, placed six months ago, required meticulous work and attention to detail. Sircilla is a town in Telangana, which is renowned for its skilled handloom weavers and Nalla Vijay is one of them.

Craftsman Vijay Kumar explained that converting gold into fine threads for weaving required surgical precision and took considerable time. Once the gold yarn was prepared, the saree was woven



over a period of 10 to 12 days, bringing the elaborate design to life.

The saree is 49 inches wide and measures five and a half meters in length. It weighs between 800 and 900 grams and contains approximately 200 grams of pure gold. The total cost of creating this exquisite piece is estimated to be a whopping Rs 18 lakh.

Expressing his pride and satisfaction, Vijay Kumar said, "It is an honour to weave such a unique saree. Completing this project not only brings me immense joy but also fulfills a dream that reflects my passion for this art".

The saree will be presented to the family on the wedding day, October 17.
