Pattusali (also spelt as Pattu Sale, Pattushali, Pata Sali & Patha Sali) is a Hindu community predominantly residing in the Indian states of Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Tamil Nadu, Puducherry, Karnataka and Gujarat.
They wear the sacred thread,[1] follow Hinduism and are mainly Vaishnavas, though there is a significant proportion of Shaivas as well.[2] They are Telugu speakers[2][3] and are found largely in the state of Andhra Pradesh particularly in Anantapur, Godavari, Srikakulam, Visakhapatnam and Vijayanagaram districts.[2]
These people specialise in weaving silk used to decorate and worship gods with silk cloth known as Pattu, hence the name Pattusali in Telugu.Script error: No such module "Unsubst".
