        <lang class="3" style=".Bodylaser" font="Minion Pro" fontStyle="Regular" size="9">Amala Akkineni inaugurated the two-day Evwaah – Weavers Hub exhibition at the Financial District, highlighting the cultural significance of handloom and silk in India. Organized by Alekhya Reddy, the expo showcased over a thousand varieties of handcrafted sarees, including Pochampally, Paithani, and Patan Patola weaves. The initiative aims to support weavers by providing direct market access, eliminating middlemen, and promoting authentic silk and cotton products. The exhibition serves as a platform to sustain traditional craftsmanship while boosting livelihoods in the handloom sector.</lang>
