Geography & terrain

Pochampally lies in the Nalgonda district of Telangana, 50 km from Hyderabad and 25 km from Bhoodan — the ikat town of the region, its handloom lanes, the GI craft and the looms set on the Telangana's plain.

History & culture

The town's story runs with the 19th-century loom era — the ikat town of the Telangana's handloom lanes and the GI tag of the 2005 listing, with the town's modern role as the craft stop of the Hyderabad circuit and the home of the Pochampally sarees and the 2013 Bhoodan statue and the cooperative weavers; the town's history of the Bhoodan movement of the 1951 and the 12,000 looms, gives Pochampally its ikat character.
