Maheshwar in Madhya Pradesh, India is known for its exquisite and
finely woven Maheshwari sarees. The Maheshwari
Saris are
exclusive for their unique designs on silk and cotton fabrics and their blends,
with a fine use of zari.
Distinctive features of the Maheshwari
cotton Sarees are
the light weight, shiny lustre, and a fine display of colours, with brilliant
motifs, an attractive Pallu and a border to match. The saree is known for its
brilliant display of stripes, checks and exquisite floral borders with
complementary contrast borders and tantalizing wide zari borders. The Pallu is
particularly noted for the colourful stripes in varied colours such as green,
pink, magenta, mauve, violet etc. which lend the fabric a mesmerising look.
The border is also adorned by trendy designs and themes such as
the Maheshwar fort and related objects. Some of the popular patterns in use
even today are that of mat, Chameli flower, brick and diamond. Though worn for
exclusive events it it also serves for a variety of occasions. Once aimed at
export markets and regal clientele, the use of silver zari made it affordable
and widely popular even in domestic markets. A special variety of the
Maheshwari Saree called the ‘Bugdi Kinar’ with the specially stitched reverse
border is an attractive and widely sought one.
A sustained traditional fabric, light and lustrous, the Maheshwari cotton sarees have captured the imagination of the
market, with its innovative patterns and exemplary workmanship.
Rani Ahilyabai Holkar is
supposed to be instrumental in the innovation of the design for the Modern Day
industrialization had at one time threatened the existence of the Maheshwari Sarees. A
descendant of the Holkars came as a God-send and the Rehwa Society was
established in 1978, primarily for employment to women and encouraging the
revival of this ethnic art. Located in a historic building of the town, more
than 100 weavers, mostly women, are engaged in the weaving of this fine fabric.
Their families get the much needed monetary aid and support services like
healthcare from this mutually beneficial association.
