Mashroo is one of the oldest and finest textiles in India. It is said to have been developed in the 14th century. Mashroo as created to conform to the tenets of Islam which forbade silk to touch the skin. Weavers developed a fabric with a silk warp and cotton weft, where the cotton lays beneath and grazes the skin, while the silk floats on top. This enabled the ruling Islamic nobility to flaunt and wear the luxurious sheen or silk without breaking religious law.
