]]> Mashroo is a woven textile craft form with a purpose stemming from religion. ‘Mashroo’ meaning ‘permitted’ in Arabic lends credibility to the textile since wearing pure silk was prohibited.

This does not stop the patterns from being intricately elaborate. Patola is exclusively produced from Patan in Gujarat.
