Concept:

  • Every region has its traditional arts.
  • Traditional arts are mostly learned at home.
  • Traditional arts like textile making pass from generation to generation.

Explanation:

About Pochampally:

  • Pochampally sarees are weaved in the Mukhtapur village of Pochampalli district of Andhra Pradesh. 
  • They have traditional geometric patterns in the Ikat style of dyeing.
  • The intricate geometric designs find their way into sarees and dress materials. 
  • Pochampalli sarees are bright colours.

About Kalamkari:

  • 'Kalam’ means pen and ‘kari’ means artwork or craftsmanship.
  • This literally translates to mean drawing with a pen.
  • Kalamkari is hand-painted or block-printed work on cotton textile done in Andhra Pradesh. 

Thus, the sarees bought by Neeta, which are exclusively made in Andra Pradesh are Pochampally and Kalamkari.
