About Aurangabad Himroo Factory
For generations, the Qureshi family has preserved the authentic Himroo weaving tradition in Aurangabad.
About Factory
Aurangabad Himroo Factory continues this centuries old tradition through the dedication of the Qureshi family. The factory produces authentic handwoven Himroo using the traditional pit and paga technique, a manual loom system where two artisans work together simultaneously to create the fabric.
This process requires precision, patience, and skill, making genuine Himroo rare in today’s market. In a time when machine-made textiles are often sold under the Himroo name, the factory remains committed to preserving the authenticity of the craft.
