India's spectacular diversity is visible in its languages, cultures, castes, and religions. The physical features of the country and its climate have contributed to the development of these diversities. Indian culture is one of the richest in the world. This richness is the result of the freedom which every region and community has enjoyed to develop its genius through mutual interactions. India posses a distinct identity not only because of its geography, history and culture but also because of the great diversity of its natural costumes.


Every state has its own distinct style to dress up occasionally. In this article particularly I would like introduce one beautiful place named as Kancheepuram which is one of the seven sacred cities of India. When we talk about Kancheepuram, the first thing which comes directly into our mind is the Kanchipuram sarees of South India.


Kancheepuarm, formerly known as conjeevaram. Basically Kanchipuram is a district located on the coast of Bay of Bengal and adjacent to Chennai, Known as the silk city. Kancheepuram was the historical capital of the pallavas. It has been a centre for Tamil learning and culture for centuries and gives us a clear picture of the glorious Dravidian heritage of vaishnavites and shaivites. For more


Kancheepuram is very famous for its historical places and it is well known as silk city with thousand temples. Few of them which are more popular such as Kailasanathar temple, Kanchi kamakshi Amman temple, Varadarajar temple, Vaikunta perumal temple, so on. For more information visit click on this link

Kanchi Kamakshi Amman Temple

Apart from the historical places, Kancheepuram is well-known for silk sarees. Specialty of kancheepuram sarees is their weight due to that in 1.2 inches of warp frame there will be 60 holes in which there will be 240 threads in Warp and around 250 to 300 threads in the Wept which gives strength to the saree. The zari used in Kanchi sarees is pure gold and silver because of this reason only kanchi sarees are awesome too look and royal to wear in wedding ceremonies and traditional events.

Gold & Silver kanchi Sarees

To manufacture this sort of rich and gorgeous kanchi saris, Dyeing and weaving techniques play crucial role. Kancheepuram is also known for thriving handloom silk industry. The exclusive kanjeevaram saris with twisting the yarns by using charka, the turning in charka is where the yarn will be thread which is used for weft.  After this process dyeing will take place and drying them in the sun. For more details about dyeing of kanjeevaram sarees you can visit


Next more important ultimate step to manufacture kanchi sarees is weaving. The looms used in kancheepuram are mostly Frame looms. To create this zari designs on kanchi sarees, first the design is been made in a computer and then that design is punched into thick cards and then this card is loaded into the Jacard in the loom, so that according to the designs and the holes in the card, the needles will pull and put the threads which will create designs in the saree while weaving. For clear information regarding weaving process of kanjeevaram saris click on this link

Main area of concern of Kanjeevaram weaver’s has always been to come up with creative and trendy designs and at the same time, to use traditional Indian printing methods.  They use eco-friendly colours in our printing which are mainly made from vegetables. The weavers are into this profession traditionally. None of the weavers are trained but they have acquired this unique skill hereditarily from their ancestors. The art of weaving is passed on by way of vision and practice. There are no theoretical explanations or training for weaving.


But unfortunately due to the low wages the traditional weavers are opting out of this industry even they use golden and silver zari to manufacture kanchi saris. New generation is not interested in this profession due to the low wages prevailing in the industry. So the weavers demand that only if a rehabilitation package similar to the package which was offered by the government to the farmers, who have lost crops, is provided, and then only handloom industry can survive. To know clear idea about problems facing by kancheepuram weavers click here

It shouldn't happen but it does. Hence, it is important to weigh yourself the way you look and the way others want to see you.

Benagal Handloom Saree

Whenever we discuss about fashion it is automatically switch over our concentration towards saree because sarees is a statement of tradition, of India-ness, and of feminism. Someone has rightly said, saree is not just an outfit it is act


ually an ornament of Indian women. Each saree having it own unique story. To sum up, nothing represents India’s spirit as gloriously as this six yard wonder does.

As mentioned in the above pages each saree will have its unique story in terms of dignity and royalty, in such a way that in this article I want to reveal the uniqueness of  Bengal handloom sarees which are one of the popular sarees in the world due to their classy and trendy look.

Kolkata, formerly known as Calcutta is the capital of West Bengal. Kolkata is the India's largest, friendliest and metropolitan city. The name Kolkata is said to be derived from the name Kalikshetra or the seat of goddess Kali. Kolkata is considered as the fashion hub of India. It has got one of the biggest fashion apparel markets in the country.  From this land of fashion, comes two exclusive varieties known as the Bengal handlooms and Kolkata cotton or Bengal Cotton. These fabrics have a unique touch and feel and are also have soothing colour schemes which is the main USP of these sarees.

Kolakata Cotton Saree

Kolkata is still a major centre for business, industry, trade and exports. Bengal handloom cotton sarees woven by Master Weaver Bimal Bairagi comes from Gobar Char in Shantipur – that ancient handloom hub steeped in the highest traditions of weaving exquisite Bengal handloom sarees.

One of the best things about being a textile designer working with Bengal handlooms is the fact that you often get immense job satisfaction. It comes in the form of developing new products, imparting new skills, creating awareness of changing tastes and making a little bit of difference to handloom saree weavers. One of the districts in west Bengal named as murshidabad which is very famous for Bengal handloom sarees. This weaver’s cooperative in the village of Nagar in Murshidabad district of West Bengal used to spin yarn from silkworm cocoons and went on to weave raw mulberry silk fabric. Murshidabad, incidentally, has been a hub of Bengal handloom silk weaving for hundreds of years. You are sure to find a Murshidabad silk saree in every Bengali wardrobe.

Benarasi Saree

Varanasi also commonly known as Benares or Banaras or Kashi is a city situated on the banks of the River Ganges in the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh. Bengal handloom sarees are quiet unique apart from other sarees because of  multi colour sarees, style and ceremonial importance of the Bengal attires. Benarasi silk sarees have special importance in the wedding ceremony due to such heavy elegant work they have.

Two streams of weavers make up the textile heritage of Benares. The first, the Benaresiwaal are centered in its heart Madanpura. They were known for the weaving of gossamer fabrics. Foremost amongst them is the fine cotton jamdani delicate figured muslin, now extinct in Benares.

The Jute was called the golden fibre of Indian subcontinent. Jute can be mixed with cotton, silk, wool, nylon, rayon and so on…  Jute silk sarees are widely appreciated amongst Indian women for elegant designs, bright colors, smooth finish and the exclusive designs.

Saree being the most elegant traditional attire the fashion fanatics are putting their best brain to recreate a new range of design using this natural jute fiber. Sarees which are especially made keeping particular festivals in mind are festival jute sarees. These sarees display the intensity of occasion. For instance jute sarees are worn in marriages, engagements, birthday celebrations, parties etc.

The jute is the most popular fabric for festival sarees all over India. Shine of this jute fabric adds brightness in festival and also brings out the gorgeousness of the saree and the elegance of a woman. Mixing jute with other material upgrades jute in terms of durability, appearance, feel, wash ability, resilience. Thus making it hot on demand fabric for fashion designers. There have been many fashion events showcasing collection of jute sarees.

Jute sarees are quiet suitable for any occasion like casual, corporate, wedding and party events.

Basically jaipuri sarees are named as Bandhni or Bandheji or Maheshwari saris. The term ‘Bandhani’ is derived from Hindi language. Bandhani is the art of royalty. The tie dyed fabrics of Gujarat are perhaps the best produced in India. Bandheni Sarees are created by dyeing the cloth in such a way that many small resist dyed spots produce elaborate patterns over the fabric. The embroidered designs and the exotic hues of color together form an irresistible combination as far as women are concerned.

Bandhani sarees are made of cotton or silk and real gold thread which are costlier available in markets and are a great choice for brides.

The entire saree is designed with bandheji or tie and dye, where checks are woven out of gold brands of zari and have small motifs like peacock, elephant or flowers in the center. These beautiful golden borders adorned by kundan and sequins work are used on the sari, which adds a little glitz and glamour to a very traditional number.

India is very diverse country with various religions of people. This diversity is reflected in every part of life from food to clothing. India has unique style of clothing on the basis of geographical feature. In India, irrespective of the region the best part is that since last many years clothing has been constant but now only the style and kind of draping in saris have modified according to the new day women. You can find today many saris available in numerous designs and patterns of style. Bandhini, silk, Patola, georgette are few very famous styles of fabric which look authentic and very appealing.

Thus, in present article I would like to introduce about one of the finest and famous styles of fabrics is Georgette. Georgette fabric is a textile traditionally made from silk although synthetic fibers such as polyester are sometimes used as well. The thing that makes georgette fabric distinctive is the crinkly crepe-light texture, which feels slightly rough and dull, but gives the fabric a bouncy, flowing look. Many fabric stores carry georgette fabric in a range of colors and prints for various projects. Department stores also carry clothing and drapery made from georgette.

Pure Georgette Saree

The threads used in georgette fabric are highly twisted, which causes them to crinkle as they relax. The weave of georgette trends to be rather tight, but the over all appearance is slightly sheer. Since the threads are very thin. Unlike some fine silks, georgette fabric is also unusually strong and it holds up well to varied wear. Since silk is highly absorbent, georgette fabric can easily be dyed in a myriad of colors or printed with a pattern.

The crepe-like texture of georgette fabric makes it very springy, so that the fabric almost appears to move on its own. It also drapes very well, making it a popular for women’s fashions in which clingy, flowing fabrics are favored since georgette fabric is thin. It is also lightweight and can be used as a layer in a larger garment without being heavy or bulky. Layers of georgette fabric may be used for a fanciful effect especially in gowns, Sarees.

Georgette fabric is mostly used in formal women wear to give a fabulous chic look. Georgette fabric is heavier than chiffon. It is easy to maintain but hard to stitch. The georgette fabric is slippery and so it is difficult to handle them while sewing. Because of its delicate fabric has to be handled carefully. The fabric is spread in a double layer with needles pinned together for cutting.

Dual Color Georgette Saree

Due to these unique and fantabulous utilized features of georgette, women are loved to experiment this sort of fabric based sarees especially nowadays. Saree manufacturers are also much fascinated towards georgette fabric usage in present generation. Georgette saree widely used in wedding ceremonies, party events, traditional functions.
