Karalkada in kerala, the land of fabled handloom finery, the dress material was unbleached cotton from the beginning of recorded history. Weavers lived in communal villages, each with its distinctive style and variety, which evolved independently under the master weaver of each village. These villages, because of their remoteness and far apart locations gave birth to an exciting range of techniques, texture, design and other weaving configurations. However, there was one thing in common - the looms they worked on were almost identical. It can sbe said that the history of organised trading practice of handloom fabric in kerala is the history of karalkada itself.
