History of Shawl
The word shawl is derived from the Persian word 'shal', which dates back to several centuries. Shawls have been used as a warm protective garment in winters since ancient times. Though the exact origin of shawl is unknown, but it is derived that people had been using shawls since a very long period of time. The practice of shawl weaving was popular in several Western and Asian countries since ancient times. India has long been associated with manufacturing designer and fine quality shawls. The shawl industry in India has been flourishing since the Mughal empire when artisans came up with several creative patterns and styles.

Fabric Used
