"No cameras, please don't touch the walls," the guards inside the museum kept reminding the excited gaggle of tourists who were pointing curious fingers everywhere.

The borders were a little crumpled but the zari work shined as though brand new. My mother's 30-year-old bridal Banarasi sari was soft against the skin of my palms, the deep magenta with its jade drape still as vibrant, the paisley in gold filigree bringing out a soft sheen synonymous with the fabric, just as when she wore it on her wedding day in 1994.

The quaint town of Maheshwar in Madhya Pradesh, relatively untouched by the throng of noisy tourists, lies some 95 km from Indore and, at first glance, does not betray the wealth of handloom history it hides. Mainly a pilgrim destination, the main square retains the looks of a regular small-town market, bustling with shops and commercial buildings. But as you go inwards, the town's face changes. Cobbled streets open up to the Ahilya Ghat, flanked by exquisite stone temples and the Ahilya Fort.
