Silk Sarees

Importance of Silk in India

Silk has always been the fabric of class and elegance. It gives a spatial definition to the word ‘elite’. Silk is also known as ‘Paat’ in East India, ‘Pattu’ in South India and ‘Resham’ in Hindi or Urdu.

Silk clothing in the Indian culture has been associated with auspicious occasions such as weddings, baby showers, birthdays and pujas (prayer service).  Although Silk was brought to India by foreign travelers and traders, Indian silk emerged as an important export item for India as well as the world. Some of the popular varieties of Indian silk are Arani silk, Banarasi silk, Gadwal silk, Kanjeevaram silk (Kanchipuram silk), Kora silk, Mysore silk, Patola silk, Assamese Silk and Pochampally silk.

The Craft of the Indian Silk Saree

Silk Saree making in India is a craft that has been passed down as a legacy in the families of traditional weavers, artisans and craftsmen for hundreds of years. It is said that the craft of making the famous Silk Patola Sarees of Gujarat is a close kept ancestral secret that is now known only to three weaving families.
Different types of Indian pure silk Sarees are made with different types of techniques and have different specialties.  Banarasi Sarees are Border Silk Sarees, i.e Silk Sarees with heavily crafted borders of brocade and Zari in golden color while Kanjivaram Sarees are noted for their broad, crafted borders with motifs. A traditional Indian Silk Saree usually takes between half to six months and sometimes a year to complete.
 

Colours, Works and Embellishments

There are many kinds of embellishments and craftworks used in adorning the Indian Sarees. Earlier, traditional motifs such as flowers, lotuses, mangoes, paisley, elephants etc. were used. Now the styles and prints of Sarees have expanded to include many contemporary and artistic prints and motifs as well.

Some of the craftworks and embellishments that are commonly used in pure silk sarees are borders (lace border, brocade border), Zari work, Resham thread work, Kundan work, beautiful embroidery especially intricate hand embroidery, sequins (or sequence), stones work, gotta Patti work, thread work, and stone embroidery etc.

Silk Sarees are ideal as an outfit for weddings regardless of whether you are the bride, bride’s family, her friend or just an acquaintance. Famous and influential social personalities like politicians, businesswomen, bollywood actresses and celebrities are seen wearing Silk Sarees to many events, bollywood weddings, press conferences and promotional events.
