Paithani Weaving Center

Hand-woven Himroo material is the traditional Aurangabad speciality, which is made from cotton, silk and silver threads. Developed as a cheaper alternative to Kam Khab (the more lavish brocades of silk and gold thread), as of today Himroo shawls and saris are mostly mass-produced using power looms. However there are some showrooms in the city still run traditional workshops, preserving this dying art, and one of the best places to come and watch the masters at work is the Paithani Weaving Centre. Even if you don't wish to buy anything, this place is definitely worth a visit. Original Paithani is woven by hand in pure silver and gold threads, but here you will also find a wide range designer sarees,Double Pallu, Aswali Border, Narali Border, Muniya Border, Georgette Sarees, Intricate Pallu Sarees along with other varieties that add to the collection of this heritage heirloom. Apart from this, they also offer stitched Kurtis for the young ladies.
