Balaramapuram’s rich weaving heritage dates back to the early 19th century, when His Highness Maharaja Balarama Varma brought weaving families from Tamil Nadu to settle in Thiruvananthapuram district. These skilled weavers brought their unique talents to Balaramapuram, creating a hub for beautiful cotton sarees and garments. From simple hand-woven designs to complex zari and coloured yarn motifs, Balaramapuram’s sarees are renowned for their elegance.
