The fine silk saris of
Baluchari and Tangail Jamdhani
Prominent among the silk handloom saris of Bengal is
the Baluchari and the Tangail Jamdhani. Fine count quality weaves, each has its
specialty. The appeal of the Baluchari Saree lies in its colour harmony.
Colours preferred are red, green, yellow, blue and their shades. Silk brocade
designs suited to the base colour, are decorated with attractive motifs. The
Pallav or Pallu is generally adorned by folk lore or mythological themes.
Balucharis are made from silk. With silk brocade designs suited to the base
colour, they are decorated with attractive motifs. One of the major themes that
adorn the Pallav or Pallu of the Baluchari Sarees are mythological stories
depicted on the walls of the terra cotta temples that the Malla rulers had
built and are located in present day Bengal.
Casual Wear |
The Malla
dynasty rule had influenced motifs and the narratives from the Indian epics
Mahabharata and Ramayana were obvious subjects for depictions on the thematic
pallus. Today floral motifs are very popular. Many figured patterns have also
been introduced. Baluchari Sarees are preferred as soft and comfortable wear,
for their fine weave and stylish looks. Some popular themes of today as flower
bunches, animals, court scenes of an earlier era, boat etc. adorning the
Baluchari Saree make them most attractive and apt for a variety of occasions;
be it wedding ceremonies, parties, grand functions, social gatherings or as
corporate wear.
Pure handloom |
The current trend of increasing use of organic
materials, has found its way into the experimental manufacture of the Baluchari
Organic Sari. Fine blends of cotton with both banana fibres and bamboo shoots
replace the silk yarn, while acidic dyes have been substituted with dyes made
from extracts of fruits, vegetables, leaves, turmeric etc. Jamdhani hand
weaving is a necessary accompaniment for Bengal Silk sarees where
cotton and gold thread weaving create motifs of geometric patterns and floral
designs in colourful hues. Dhania Khali and thangail are popular weaving styles
and the sarees like the Thangail Jamdhani weave have popular motifs like
Nature, the sun, the moon and stars.

Historical development of the
Baluchari handloom silk sarees
A Baluchari Sari was once worn only by women from
the upper class and landlord families in Bengal during festive
occasions and weddings. Today it is widely worn without distinction in many
parts of the country on various occasions. Post-independence revival by a
person named Subho Thakur, through the weaving skills of Das, a weaver from Bishnupur
and knowledgeable in this art form, restored the glory of this fine weave once
again. This time round the Baluchari Saree once hand-woven, was tried out on
Jacquard looms and the success of the experiment is now for all to see in the
current weaving method of this art weave. The Baluchari saree has won the
Presidential award on two occasions for its weaving style and has been
prominently displayed in international trade fairs.
