Puttapaka Telia Rumal

Puttapaka Telia Rumal has gained recognition for its unique and elegant designs, patterns, and natural dyeing methods. The cloth is named after its oily texture, which comes from the use of gingelly oil and natural vegetable dyes, which gives it a unique texture. The traditional patterns used in Puttapaka Telia Rumal consist of a variety of images based on the subdivisions of a square. In the past, the designs were strictly geometric, but over time, they began to incorporate figurative elements.

The traditional Puttapaka Rumal is restricted to only three colors, namely shades of red, white, and black, sometimes with a hint of yellow to orange or pink. The colors are carefully chosen to create a balanced and harmonious effect that highlights the intricate patterns and designs.

One of the most unique aspects of Puttapaka Telia Rumal is that the pieces do not have any joints, making each object one-of-a-kind.
