The Nine-yard long saree or Kashta as it is called is a traditional Maharashtrian attire. It’s a significant attire which women across different walks of life have worn, may it be at cultural or religious events. Women have fought wars in the past wearing it, and to date, it’s a part of their daily attire in the rural areas. Mominpura in Nagpur is home to weavers who specialize in this kind of saree. The name Mominpura is believed to be derived from the weavers residing here who were called Momins; the other meaning being true believers in Allah. Experience curated by Nagpuri
