THE THREADS THAT BIND THE NATION!FOLLOWING THE SAREE TRAIL

ACROSS INDIA

Indian girls have the privilege of growing up around women of all shapes and size who wear beautiful sarees…From the soft cottony hug of your grandma in her light colored sarees. To that clean anchal of your mom, you love to wipe your wet hands into after a meal!To the vibrant series of changing colors at your brother’s wedding of the new addition to your family…

Indian girls often take this single piece of clothing for granted. Our aunts, moms and grand moms wear them, and often so did we on special occasions like Sarawati Puja.We find this one piece of clothing to put on as a thrilling experience… just squeeze yourself into a saree and you feel the responsibilities, stature and maturity wash all over your being as a girl. And now you rise to be a woman! But we also ignore the sheer variety of sarees around us, when there should be special classes educating us about the sarees of India!

This type of sareesis a hot favorite of women in India. The Ganga Jamuna with different colors with vibrant designs are no shy of a prized heirloom that is passed on to women generation after generation.

STARTING WITH THE REGAL CHARM OF KANJEEVARAM!

To weave a Kanchipuram saree it takes threads of a pure mulberry tree. And the zari is obtained from Gujarat.

One Kanchipuram saree takes three shuttles to be made. While weavers work on the right side his help works on the left side of the shuttle.

Ever wondered what’s the most creative dress for women? It is a saree… no matter what your size, short, tall, fat, thin a saree will oblige to drape you.

Just remember your grandmothers who wore it the Bengali style by tucking in the borders at their waists deftly on both the right and left without bothering to do the pleats. Oh and don’t forget the bunch of keys that went over the pallu, nothing says matriarch louder than a pallu with a bunch of keys!

As a girl in India, no one needs to educate her about the refulgence of the golden threads of a Benarasi saree, the intricacy of its brocade work, and power it holds on the minds of other people!

There is reason enough that a Benarasi Saree still remains at the top of the choice list for Brides in India to tie the knot in.

NOTHING BEATS THE SEDUCTION OF A BENARASI SAREE!
