Guledgudda Khana is a fabric woven with pure cotton threads and silk yarns by the traditional weavers from Guledgudda and its surrounding villages, who invented and preserved this craft. The unique designs produced by using dyed yarns represent the traditions followed by the people of some regions of Karnataka and Maharashtra. The motifs used for the designs in the Guledgudda cluster are inspired by nature, the ancient stone sculptures of Badami and from the Hindu mythology. These designs are well accepted by the people in this region as they have a strong belief in them. The Khana fabric has been in existence for almost 200 years and continues to be popular even today. However, except for the traditional designs, no other designs are accepted by the wearers of Khana.
