One of the oldest weaving traditions of India is the Jamdani, which dates back almost 2000 years. They are also known as Dhakai Jamdani, for their original place of origin was Dhaka in Bangladesh. These sarees are highly ornate handwoven drapes. They are labour-intensive and involve a complex weaving process. These sarees use the finest Muslin fabric, which lends a transparent body to the saree. The motifs woven on them appear like they are floating in thin air. Jamdani sarees were heavily patronized by the Moghuls, whose influences are evident in the design of these sarees. Read on to learn many more interesting facts about Jamdani sari designs.
Significance of Jamdani Sarees:
Jamdani sarees are known for their intricate designs and their supreme-quality fabrics. They speak of luxury and royalty with their unparalleled beauty. Authentic Jamdani saris take over a few hundred hours to weave just one piece, making the theme exclusive to the elite class. However, the advent of advanced mills made the process easy and available at a much lower cost. The Bengali women treasured these sarees, whose wardrobe is incomplete without this variety.
