The Nine-yard long saree or Kashta as it is called is a traditional Maharashtrian attire. It’s a significant attire which women across different walks of life have worn, may it be at cultural or religious events. Women have fought wars in the past wearing it; and till date it’s a part of their daily attire in the rural areas.

Mominpura in Nagpur is home to weavers who specialise in this kind of saree. The name Mominpura is believed to be derived from the weavers residing here who were called as Momins; the other meaning being true believers in Allah.

On this tour, we would not only see the art of making this nine-yard-long saree but would also know about Mominpura's history, the intangible heritage and see the Badi Jama Masjid.
