TRADITIONAL COLLECTIONS FOR PURE PATACHITRA HANDLOOM SAREES FROM ODISHA

Patachitra or Pattachitra has its origin in Odisha, India. ‘Pata’ is cloth and ‘chitra’ means picture or painting in Sanskrit. Hence Pattachitra would come to mean painting on a cloth or canvas. An old art form, it displays epics and religious themes in detailed narration on any broad canvas. The Indian saree with its ample spread offered sufficient scope for this painstakingly executed, unique ethnic offering that ‘wowed’ even the contemporary audience of today.

What is Patachitra ?

Pattachitra is painting done on canvas, manifested by rich colourful application, creative motifs and designs, and portrayal of simple themes, mostly mythological in depiction. The tradition of pattachitra paintingsis more than thousand years old. A traditional art dating from historical to ancient times, this Odisha craft of painting on any form of canvas has themes from Hindu mythology inspired especially by the Jagannatha and Vaishnava cult. Rich in colour, with extraordinary designs and motifs, the Pattachitra painting on the saree involves the narration of mythological stories in a simple and lucid manner. Murals of religious venues centred around Puri Konark and Bhubaneshwar. All colours used in the Paintings are natural and paintings are made fully the traditional way. Themes are mainly on Lord Jagannath and radha-krishna, Jagannath, Balabhadra and temple activities, the ten incarnations of Vishnu basing on the Gita Govinda of jayadev, Kama Kujara Navagunjara, Ramayana, Mahabharata.

The Patachitra process

The area for the painting to be made is prepared by coating a mixture of chalk and a special kind of gum.This gives a leathery finish to the surface on which the painting with vegetable and earth colours is done. Lines drawn are direct, without any tracing and then colours are filled in. This is then given some form of coating to provide the gloss. Organic colours used in the Patachitra saree are primarily bright, with red, yellow, indigo, black and white given prominence. Application of colour is through the use of hairs of domestically reared animals, bunched together and tied to a small stick. It is a marvel that despite the crudity of the tool, the outcome is so sharp and detailed. Despite the time consumed, the effort being tremendous the devotion and dedication of these ethnic craftsmen remains intact even today. Small wonder that the exquisite, flawless Patachitra creations enjoy the attention of an appreciative market.

TRADITIONAL COLLECTIONS OF BHATIK PRINTS COTTON SALWAR KAMEEZ FROM UNNATI SILKS

Batik on salwar kamiz as an experiment has succeeded through inputs from countries like Indonesia and China. However our traditional stylists have over a period evolved a unique style of their own.

The Process of Batik

Using ‘resists’ for making designs on a fabric, the conventional Batik process has a resist or a physical block in some form or the other to prevent desired areas on the fabric from being penetrated by the initial dye. Generally wax is used as a resist in Batik. The block printed areas where resists are in place, come out as un-dyed areas in the dyed fabric and could be coloured differently in repeat wax dye process. This wax-dye process could be repeated several times for every subsequent colour change. Batik can be done very easily with various types of dyes & wax on cotton, silk and other natural fabrics like jute and blends.

The rarer ‘Pen Batik’

The rarer type of Batik is Pen Batik. Fine designs are made on the fabric using ‘Tjanting’ tools. Pen Batik is a little more painstaking comparatively on account of fine detailing to be taken done by hand and molten wax to be poured a certain temperature carefully on the design lines with Batik dropper pen. A lot of care is taken for too thin a layer could give way to colour dye to seep through surface cracks. Temperature of the wax is normally kept between 200 and 230 degrees.Vats or tubs with boiling water are used to melt away the wax in the case of Batk printed salwar kameez. For Pen Batik fabrics a small tub with hot water is generally preferred. After the entire resist dyeing process is over, and the wax has melted away in hot water, a neatly dyed and design filled Batik imprinted fabric is available.

The novelty of plain sarees

Plain sarees are generally considered to be those that lack the basic adornments on the field of the saree like motifs, patterns or designs that generally adorn the saree backdrop. Instead the concentration is on the choice of colour, the matching borders which would have the additional adornments and the pallu or end-piece which would have the light self coloured weave or remain plain and have a small colourful line border or a patch border. The effect of such a simple weave with minimum additions has an extraordinary appeal and allure on account of its simplicity.

TRADITIONAL PURE BAGH PRINTED COTTON SAREES FROM UNNATI SILKS

Bagh is a unique style of block printing on handloom fabrics, the name coming from its origin in the current form in Bagh village of Madhya Pradesh handlooms, India. Despite the art being from another region brought by travelers who happened to settle in Manawar, the present style of Bagh printing is said to be from the early 60s when some Muslim Khatris migrated from Manawar to settle in this village.

The specialty of Bagh Prints

Bagh was practiced by these tribal muslims and the print subjects were mainly geometrical prints and floral compositions. There was a lull in between that led to many of these traditional practitioners deserting the art and being lured away to the production of synthetic fabrics that also came up at that time. It was Ismail Khatri who gave the Bagh its present form by staying on in the practice of this art and experimenting with designs.

In a brave move he altered the concept, the process and the look of these printed fabrics and brought the turnaround of a doomed art. He happened to get 200 year and 300 year old blocks which were based on traditional motifs that had been inspired by the 1500 year old cave paintings of nearby regions. The Nariyal zaal, ghevar zaal motifs (Designs from Taj Mahal paintings), and others like Saj, Dakmandwa, Chameli or Jasmine flower, Maithir or the mushroom, leheriya or jurvaria (designs of small dots on a field) were experimented as block print designs. He also had blocks made based on the Jaali work found in the Tajmahal and local forts. Initially he made use of Red and Black colors from alum and corroded iron and discovered green and yellow from vegetable dyes.

Till then it was an art of drawing and designs on paper. With his transfer of the block designs to fabrics he revolutionized the art.

Never before had such beautiful, exotic and captivating designs been seen on fabrics and by the use of these fast colors he got Bagh Prints to be noticed and accepted as a new form of adorning fabrics. To prove his point that handloom fabrics were well-suited for such prints, he printed 1230 different blocks on a single bed cover with imagination and logic.This fetched him the National Award and then on appreciation nationwide for the Bagh Printed sarees. Today Bagh side by side incorporates modern day designs, involving geometrical patterns, captivating bootis, floral scapes and what not, to keep in the race.

Elaborate process of the Bagh Printed sarees

Bagh Prints were initially made on handloom cotton sarees. Looking to the successful outcome Bagh was also tried out on wedding tussar silk sarees and crepe to the same end. The Bagh process seems simple but is quite elaborate and with a lot of washes for the fabric.

The fabric is soaked overnight in water and dried. Next a paste of goat droppings, raw salt, castor oil and water is made and the fabric is put in it, stamped upon till it is completely soaked. The fabric is laid out on a layered slope surface so that the water runs down and it dries. Again washed by water it is ready to be printed upon. A wooden tray with a bamboo ‘Jaali’ fitted has red and black paste applied on it. Layers of thick wet cloth placed on these colors soak them up. The block is dipped in the colors and placed lightly on the stretched out fabric on a flat surface like a smooth stone slab table with seven layers of jute on it.

Printing of the designs done similarly across the length of the fabric, the sari is dried and kept aside for some days. Then it is washed in the nearby flowing Baghini river, dried, put in a cauldron containing a mix of Dhawadi flowers, Alzarin, and Tapai and dried one last time. The Bagh Printed fabric is complete.

Unnati Silks and the Bagh Printed sarees

Bagh Prints are seen on the Maheshwari cotton sarees, georgette sarees and chiffon fabrics as well as the Chanderi cotton sarees and chanderi sico sarees. Single design motifs are printed on the field, the borders are matched with same color different shade or golden zari, but the pallu or end piece is like a designer affair. There are several block prints of different designs combined in a pattern and interspersed with large booti sections. Plenty of colors, lots of designer fare!
