Re: [Goanet] Query: Katav sari
Incidentally, Madame Gandi ordered all/most of her sarees from/in kanchipuram/kanjeevaram from an enterprise run by the Khadi Village Industries C*mmission (some where around Madurai I think). On one of them many ambles, one slipped into the small unit, where if I am not mistaken only women worked on her sarees. Those days (early 80s), a carefully woven saree for the former PM cost upwards of 1 lac rupees. The folk who ran the unit were so proud of their product...and their special customer. Elegant and well-spoken she was- though one did not agree with her stye of politics. derick Noronha wrote: > Thanks to the Goanetter who privately replied to my query with the > information I needed here: > > The first very fashionable cotton mill saris which were the rage some > decades agoKhatau Mills, hence Khatau sari as now one talks of > maheshwari from Maheshwar, kanchipuram/kanjeevaram, mangalgiri - > andhra ; banarasi, of course the best known of all in some circles ! > And now we can talk of the kunbi sari, a brand name like no other ! ... > > Frederick Noronha :: +91-9822122436 :: +91-832-2409490 > > > > -- Forwarded message -- > From: Frederick Noronha > Date: 3 November 2010 00:59 > > A friend working on translations was trying to find the right meaning > of "Katav sari".This was written in Portuguese, as used in Goa, a few > decades ago.
