Maheshwar
|
 Maheshwari sarees are the main draw. Rani Ahilyabai is credited with introducing
this uniquely woven saree 250 years ago. The fabric used id cotton and the saree
has a plain bosy, at times with stripes or checks in variable patterns. Leaf and
floral patterns decorate the borders, which are reversible ('known as bugdi').
The 'pallu' is particularly distinctive with five stripes, three coloured and
two white running alternating across its width. |

Mandu |
| Mandu is basically a historical place which is surrounded
by forests and natural beauty. Being a very small city it does not offer
much to purchase and shopping malls are absent. Nevertheless, one can buy
some local handicrafts and items made in the region. These items make good
souvenirs and decorative pieces. Items made from gold and silver are
particularly popular among the tourist as well as the native people. One
can always go for some handloom cloths and some colourful garments. Being
part of Vindhya range (Malwa), the influence of Vindhyachal (Malwa) tribal
art is clearly visible in on the handicrafts and other items. One can also
look for leather work. |
