This paper interprets the rich cultural texture of traditional Indian handloom textiles based on regional weaving styles and forms of dress such as sari and blouse. From historical insights derived from ancient temples and cultural records, this research traces how weaving traditions and different weaving practices have evolved over the areas of India. But apart from these, North Karnataka and also parts of Maharashtra, especially Guledagudd Khana, have been particularly keen on the special "Khana" material, especially its measurements and also traditional craftsmanship. The two most important garments in the attire of Indian women-the sari and the blouse-have such profound cultural value that they are more than just apparel. They have stood as icons for Indian identity for centuries. By analyzing techniques, sentimental value, and variety in regional sari styles, the paper identifies and recognizes prestige offered by handloom textiles as markers of Indian heritage. Thus, in light of these findings, the appeal and art surrounding Indian handloom weaving transcend time and stress its relevance in the preservation of cultural identity in an increasingly modern world.
