Pochampally Telia Rumal Dupatta

A Symbol of Heritage, Woven with Precision

Discover the rare and refined beauty of the Pochampally Telia Rumal Dupatta from Vikas Handlooms. This iconic piece is deeply rooted in Telangana’s traditional weaving culture and represents one of the most intricate and historic crafts of India—the Telia Rumal. Known for its double Ikat patterns and oil-treated yarns, this dupatta is a masterpiece of technique, tradition, and textile artistry.

The Telia Rumal design holds cultural and spiritual significance, originally used as ceremonial cloth in temples and by royal families. What makes it truly special is the process—yarns are soaked in a blend of castor oil and ash for several days before dyeing, which allows the threads to absorb colors deeply. Combined with the complex double Ikat technique, where both warp and weft are tie-dyed before weaving, the result is a crisp, symmetrical pattern unmatched in precision and balance.

At Vikas Handlooms, every Telia Rumal dupatta is woven by hand using these same age-old methods, by skilled artisans from Pochampally. As direct manufacturers, we offer these handloom treasures directly from the weavers’ looms to your wardrobe—ensuring authenticity, quality, and fair trade practices. Each dupatta supports the continuation of this intricate art and the communities who preserve it.

Made with fine cotton or cotton-silk blends, the Pochampally Telia Rumal Dupatta is soft, breathable, and ideal for both everyday and festive occasions. The lightweight fabric drapes effortlessly and adds a touch of cultural luxury to any ethnic outfit. Whether paired with a plain kurta, a saree, or fusion wear, this dupatta brings depth, contrast, and heritage to your look.

These dupattas are available in traditional Telia Rumal colors  dyed using natural and eco-friendly techniques. The patterns typically feature iconic square blocks, linear grids, and balanced borders that symbolize harmony and precision. These motifs are not only decorative but also hold deep-rooted meanings, reflecting balance, protection, and unity.

Each piece is hand-finished with care, often adorned with neat edges, fine borders, and occasional tassel detailing for a complete and polished appearance. The generous length and width allow for multiple styling options, whether you drape it in a classic style or wear it like a stole. It’s an elegant choice for cultural functions, religious gatherings, exhibitions, or day-to-day ethnic fashion.

As part of our commitment to sustainability and artisan welfare, every Telia Rumal Dupatta from Vikas Handlooms is ethically made, with full transparency in sourcing and production.

To ensure the longevity of this handcrafted dupatta, we recommend dry cleaning or gentle handwashing in cold water with a mild detergent. Avoid wringing or drying in direct sunlight. When not in use, store the dupatta in a cotton or muslin cloth to preserve its weave and color for years to come.
