Pateda Aanchu is a traditional weaving style originating from southern India, particularly the regions of Karnataka and Tamil Nadu, renowned for its precise linear borders and structured symmetry. The term derives from the local vernacular—‘Pateda’ meaning striped or layered, and ‘Aanchu’ referring to the edge or border.
