Śri's collection of contemporary Indian textiles is tangible proof of this epic history. they offer fine examples of uncut cloth from India's many far flung textile centers, from South India's famous cotton producing states of Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh to northern India's legendary Kashmir, home of luxurious wools and beautiful hand embroidery.
