Telia Rumal is a method for the oil treatment of yarn. It originated from Chirala in Andhra Pradesh. At Chirala, in the Prakasam district of Andhra Pradesh where the craft started, the weavers had virtually stopped making Telia Rumals. People who acquired skill in this dying art took the lead to introduce this in Puttapaka village of Nalgonda district in Telangana. Recently Puttapaka Telia Rumal was accorded with Geographical indication (GI) tag.[1][2] It is an art of Ikat tradition using natural vegetable dyes.[3][4] Some noted designers like Gajams are popular for Telia Rumal designs.[5][6] These rumals were patronised by Nizams of Hyderabad.
