==History==<br />
<br />
The weaving culture of Chanderi emerged between the 2nd and 7th centuries. It is situated on the boundary of two cultural regions of the state, [[Malwa]] and [[Bundelkhand]]. The people of the [[Vindhya Range|Vindhyachal Ranges]] have a wide range of traditions. In the 11th century the trade locations Malwa, Medwa, [[central India]] and [[south Gujarat]] increased the region's importance.<br />
<br />
The Chanderi sari tradition began in the 13th century. In the beginning, the weavers were Muslims. Around 1350, Koshti weavers from [[Jhansi]] migrated to Chanderi and settled there. During the [[Mughal Empire|Mughal period]], the textile business of Chanderi reached its peak.<br />
<br />
== Themes and motifs ==<br />
Chanderi saris are produced from three kinds of fabric: pure silk, Chanderi cotton and silk cotton.{{clarify|date=February 2018|reason=does "silk cotton" refer to Bombax cotton or a cotton-silk blend?}} Traditional coin, floral art, peacocks and modern geometric designs are woven into different Chanderi patterns. The saris are among the finest in India and are known for their gold and silver [[brocade]] or [[zari]], fine silk, and opulent embroidery.<br />
