Himroo

Himroo is a fabric made of silk and cotton, which is grown locally in Aurangabad.

Himroo is a replication of Kinkhwab, which was woven with pure golden and silver threads in former times, and was meant for the royal families.

According to historians this art originated in Persia, though it has not been proved, himroo is associated with the times of Mohammad Tughlaq who ruled in the 14th century.

When Mohammad Tughlaq shifted his capital from Delhi to Daulatabad many weavers came and settled here.

During the reign of Malik Ambar many people were attracted to the city and came and settled here from far and wide.
