Still somewhat of a mystery, the fine weaving technique of Jamdani is said to have originated in Dhaka (Bangladesh) and made its way to West Bengal as far back as the 16th Century. Rich in culture and heritage, Jamdani weaving requires skilled craftsmen spending 30 – 40 days at the handloom to produce 5 yards of fabric.
With an almost ethereal delicacy, it was hailed for its sheer beauty and technical craftsmanship by Mughal Emperors.
Zari refers to a tinsel thread of gold/silver that is woven into a fabric. The ancient art of zari involved the weaving of real gold or silver thread! Today, we use cotton wrapped in gold or silver metallic yarn.
Brought to India by the Persians during the Age of the Rig Veda (1700 and 1100BC), zari became an exclusive weave and embroidery; considered a true embodiment of elegance.
