The procedure for making a Patola is extremely delicate and time-consuming. The Patola from Patan is made using a double ikat technique. To cater to more lovers of Patola, a simpler version with a lower price range was invented. The Surendranagar technique uses ikat on only one side. The Single Ikat Patola of Surendranagar and neighboring villages came to the rescue of the weavers.
