Name the queen associated with the Maheshwari saree.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct option is option 1 i.e. Ahilyabai Holkar.
| Maheshwari Saree | Ahilyabai Holkar was the hereditary noble Sardar of the Maratha Empire, India. |
| Maheshwari saris were traditionally made in colours like peacock blue, bright yellow, forest green and an Indian red dye called Aal. The pallus were designed with stripes of red, white and gold zari. | |
| Originally, the classic Maheshwari saris were only woven in pure cotton, 9 yards long, and with pallus at both ends- so when they frayed, the saree could be reversed and worn some more. |
