Is Mangalagiri pattu GI-tagged?

No. Application 198 is for Mangalagiri cotton sarees and fabrics. Pattu is silk-cotton. We do not use the GI logo on it.

Where is the official record?

On the Geographical Indications Registry list of registered indications, in the public search, and in the Registry’s GI journal. The links are on this page.

Mangalagiri GI is cotton only

Application 198, the register, the public search, and the GI journal. Not pattu. Not Jamdani.

In short

Mangalagiri Sarees and Fabrics is a cotton Geographical Indication, application 198, registered on 15 January 2013 for Guntur district, Andhra Pradesh. It does not cover Mangalagiri pattu, and it does not cover Jamdani. This house does not put a GI logo on pattu.

The record

The name on the register is Mangalagiri Sarees and Fabrics. The application number is 198. The registration date is 15 January 2013. The area named in that registration is Guntur district, Andhra Pradesh. Those four facts are the ones this page uses.

The list of registered geographical indications is published by the Geographical Indications Registry. The public search is on search.ipindia.gov.in. The Registry also publishes a GI journal. We link those offices below. We do not claim that a journal entry names this house, and we do not link an authorised-user page, because this house has not published one.

What the cotton cloth is

The registration describes a pit-loom cotton saree and cotton fabric: a plain body, and a Nizam zari border of tiny inverted checks and dots. Stripes or checks may sit on the pallu. That is the cotton saree. It is not a licence to stamp the same line on a silk-cotton saree.

Cotton Mangalagiri sarees are not on this shelf until a lot is packed. We do not fill the cotton page with pattu, and we do not invent a cotton price while that lot is absent. The live numbers are on the Mangalagiri pattu saree price list.

What it does not cover

Mangalagiri pattu from this house is silk in the warp and cotton in the weft, with a woven peacock border, about thirty days on a pit loom in Mangalagiri. We do not call it GI-certified.

Jamdani on this site is a different cloth, woven on the family looms, about three months a saree. That is the house’s own statement. The cotton GI does not cover it. We have not published an outside source for that loom claim.
