The famous Udupi Sari is on the path of revival with initiatives like training weavers, giving attractive wages and going in for better marketing techniques
MANGALURU: Kinnigoli town, about 35km from Mangaluru, used to echo with the sound of handlooms a few decades ago. With more than 500 weavers, the small town had a flourishing business as Udupi Saris produced here used to find their place of pride in wardrobes not just in the coastal region but even in far off places like Mumbai and Dubai.
