Ask anyone in Hyderabad where to buy sarees and Abids comes up again and again. In the heart of this shopping district, at Chapel Road, stands Sri Manisha Sarees — a family-run saree house founded by Rajiv and Manisha Shah in 1997, with its own manufacturing unit. Nearly three decades on, we remain one of the few shops in Hyderabad where the sarees on the rack come from our own looms and directly from weaver families — including from Bhoodan Pochampally village, just 40 km away.

How to know you're buying authentic handloom
- GI tag & Silk Mark. Real Pochampally ikat is a Geographical Indication protected craft; pure silk carries Silk Mark certification. Ask — we show both.
- The touch test. Handloom cotton breathes, with tiny weave irregularities — the signature of a human hand. Machine-perfect uniformity means powerloom.
- Factory-direct honesty. Because we manufacture in-house, we'll tell you plainly what's pure silk, what's sico blend, and what's synthetic — and price it accordingly.

Why women across India shop with us
For generations, women have turned to Sri Manisha Sarees not simply to buy a saree, but to find something genuine, thoughtfully sourced and made to be treasured.
Founded in 1997, Sri Manisha Sarees brings together the experience of a family deeply connected to India's textile traditions. From our home in Hyderabad, we carefully curate sarees that celebrate the skill of India's weavers — from traditional handloom techniques to distinctive regional weaves and rich zari work.
No unnecessary middlemen. Just a direct connection to the source.
Our manufacturing and retail operations are based in Abids, Hyderabad, allowing us to stay closely connected to the products we sell. With fewer layers between the maker and the customer, we can offer authentic pieces at prices that reflect their true value rather than the mark-ups created by multiple intermediaries.
Every saree is personally handpicked by our family. We look beyond trends — examining the weave, texture, craftsmanship, colours, zari and overall character of each piece before it becomes part of our collection.
Why choose authentic handloom?
A handloom saree is more than fabric.
It carries the rhythm of the weaver's hands, the knowledge passed down through generations and the cultural identity of the region where it was created. Unlike mass-produced fabric, genuine handloom often has subtle variations in texture, colour and weave. These are not imperfections — they are part of its individuality and evidence of the human craftsmanship behind it.
When you choose authentic handloom, you are choosing:
Craftsmanship over mass production.
Every metre represents skilled human work and techniques that have survived generations.
Heritage over fleeting trends.
Traditional Indian weaves carry stories of regions, communities and generations of textile knowledge.
Individuality over uniformity.
Small variations can make each handwoven saree uniquely yours.
A connection to artisans.
Your purchase helps sustain demand for traditional weaving and the livelihoods connected to it.
A saree made to be cherished.
A well-made handloom saree can become part of your wardrobe for years — and often part of your family's story.

A saree should have a story.
At Sri Manisha Sarees, we believe the best sarees aren't merely bought — they are collected, worn, remembered and passed on.
When you purchase from us, you're not just purchasing another garment. You're choosing Indian craftsmanship, supporting the traditions behind it and bringing a piece of our textile heritage into your own story.
