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. 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.
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.
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.
