What is Karur famous for in Indian textiles? Is it for garments or home textiles?

Karur in Tamil Nadu is India capital for home textiles — not garments. It produces and exports bed linen, towels, kitchen textiles, curtains, table covers, and cushion covers at enormous scale.

Karur specializes in:

• Bed sheets and pillow covers (plain, printed, and embroidered)
• Bath and kitchen towels
• Table linen — placemats, table runners, napkins
• Curtains and cushion covers
• Hospital and institutional linen

Wholesale relevance: If your retail business sells home décor or institutional products (hotels, hospitals, gifting), Karur is the primary sourcing destination. For garments, Surat and Tirupur are more relevant.

Price example: Plain cotton bed sheet set (double bed) wholesale ₹280–₹600. Terry towel set wholesale ₹180–₹450.
