Have you ever wished you could find out who made your clothes and where they came from?

Soon, people who buy Pochampally Ikat saris will be able to do exactly that.

Ikat is a special way of dyeing and weaving cloth that comes from a village called Pochampally in India.

The village is famous for its beautiful hand-woven designs.

Each sari will get a special tag with a QR code, just like the ones you might see on food packages.

When you scan the QR code with a phone, it will open a website that shows a certificate proving the sari is real.

You will also see a photo of the weaver, the village where the sari was made, and a number that shows which loom made it.

The certificate will be available in Telugu and English.

To celebrate handloom day, the village will also offer fun walks where people can learn about weaving and local food.

This helps buyers trust what they are buying and honors the people who make these beautiful textiles.
