Mashru cloth is one of the most visually simple and striking of all Indian textiles. It has shiny, satiny good surface and is usually striped in pattern and woven in bright colours. Mashru is warp-faced textile, made with a silk warp and a cotton weft. It has a satin weave that makes the cotton weft lie almost invisibly beneath the surface of the fabric. In Arabic, Mashru means "permitted". According to Islamic tradition, orthodox Muslim men were forbidden to wear silk next to the skin. But if Mashru fabric was worn, although the surface of the fabric was of silk, cotton lay next to the skin.
