Abstract
This comprehensive research examines Indian textile culture and sustainability. By considering the historical and cultural relevance of Indian textiles, the examination will reveal their deeply rooted values and stories as cultural vessels rather than just adornments. Handloom weaving, natural dyes, and traditional printing and embroidery will be assessed for sustainability. The examination will examine Indian textiles' spiritual and figurative elements, showing how they reflect society and preserve traditions. It will also emphasise the importance of local textiles and indigenous materials in regional economy and cultural identity. The evaluation will consider technological obsolescence, economic sustainability, promising trends and innovations, technological integration, modern adaptations, international collaborations, and the importance of awareness and advocacy in preserving India's rich textile history.
