Sarees & Women's Ethnic Wear in Abids, Hyderabad — The Sri Manisha Sarees Guide (2026)

|Sri Manisha Sarees

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.

But we're more than a saree shop. Here's a complete look at our women's ethnic wear range, what things cost in 2026, and how to make sure what you buy is genuinely handloom.

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

No middlemen — our manufacturing unit is in Abids itself, so prices stay factory-direct. Every piece is handpicked by the family. And if you can't visit Hyderabad, the entire collection ships pan-India from this website, with free shipping above ₹3,999.
