Kosta Andhra · Eastern Coastal Plains
Block-printed, mordant-dyed kalamkari yardage and sarees
Working print sheds, not showrooms. Ask whether the piece is mordant-dyed or screen-printed with pigment — both are sold in the same street and the price difference is large.
Jamdani sarees woven two-to-a-loom
A genuine jamdani has no floats cut on the reverse because the motif is woven in; that is the check worth making before paying jamdani prices.
Dense plain cotton with zari borders
Sold in the town and through the state emporia; the cloth's tightness is the thing to feel for.
Rice-starch sheet sweets, sugar and jaggery versions
Made in home units by women who lift the sheets by hand. The jaggery version keeps better than the sugar one and travels less badly.
Bandar laddu
Coarse-textured and heavy with ghee; it does not keep as long as a Bombay-style besan laddu.
Madatha kaja and the soft Kakinada kaja
Two different sweets sold under one name; say which one you want.
Carved and painted poniki-wood figures and sets
Buy the sets rather than single pieces — the craft is built around assembled displays.
Hand-crocheted cotton lace and table linen
Almost all output goes to export buyers through agents; buying locally is possible and is one of the few ways the maker sees more of the price.
Guntur Sannam chilli, traded and graded in bulk
A wholesale market rather than a shop. Cold storages nearby hold the crop between auctions.
State handicrafts and handloom outlets
Fixed prices and reliable provenance for kalamkari, Kondapalli, Mangalagiri and Uppada work.
