Bengal, India, is known for its handloom cotton sarees. Fine
texture weaves, transparent, airy and very comfortable, the Bengal handloom
cotton sari is ideal for hot climes and sultry weather. Comfortable, colourful
and classy, the pure cotton sarees are
known for their attractive borders, hand woven bootis with fancy motifs,
exquisite embroidery and exotic hand painting of tribal art.
The Bengal Jamdhani handloom cotton sarees are known as soft and
comfortable wear with eye-catching geometrical and floral patterns, having
motifs hand woven in golden zari thread. This hand woven technique of Jamdhani,
a prominent feature on Bengal handloom sarees has universal application today
by inclusion even in the traditional handloom varieties across India such as Banarasi sarees, Venkatagiri cotton sarees, Uppada cotton sarees, Kanchi cotton sarees, Darmavaram cotton sarees etc. Based on the variations in the
Jamdani weave, sarees can be termed as Daccai Jamdani, known for its colourful
motifs, the Shantipur Jamdhani for its soft texture, the Fulia Tangail Jamdani
for its traditional borders and the Dhonekai Jamdhani for its colourful hues.
Another variety of cotton handlooms in Bengal is the Kantha
sari, known mainly for its running stitch embroidery on cotton fabrics where
other forms of stitches are also used sometimes. The cotton and gold thread
work sets off a wonderful design that enhances the look of the fabric.
Murshidabad, Hoogly Nadia and Burdwan situated in Bengal State are famous
centres for Tant weaves. Likewise Dhaka and Tangail in Bangla Desh are also
known for their Tant cotton sarees.
Motifs of flowers, the sun, and modern art depictions generally
adorn the Tant Saree. The borders of the fabric are thicker than normal since
they are prone to tearing. There are special Tant sarees like the 6 metre long
white cotton fabric instead of the conventional 5.5 metre saree, it has a wide
border between 1.5 and 2.0 inches in colours of green, blue, grey and black.
The Saree has a mean count of 100 (No. of threads per square inch of warp and
weft). Additions of hand painting and appliqué work enhance the price of the
saree slightly.Tant Sarees are available as Pure handloom cotton sarees using Meghalaya cotton sarees, Bengal cotton sarees, Assam cotton sarees, Nagaland cotton sarees etc.
While Unnati displays the entire range of Bengal handloom cotton sarees are the recent Tant magic has captured
the imagination of the market. The plain body saree or the one with dots and
motifs, with zari work on the borders and pallu is a widely popular version. An
elegant affair it lends use for a variety of occasions from casual
get-togethers to formal functions. The Tant Saree with checks and zari naksi
border or checks with zari woven lines and accompanied by a broad Zari border
flanking both sides of the Sari is a delightful version. It is a preferred
choice for corporate executives and also serves for casual outings and invites.
Tants cover a wide range from dark to subdued to light breezy hues. You have
beautiful double colour stripes on pastels, light floral breeze versions that
are very eye-catching and more subdued earthy hues plain and lightly adorned.
