With silk brocade designs suited to the base colour, they are decorated with attractive motifs.

Trandy Sarees

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.

Pink Color

The current trend of increasing use of organic materials, has found its way into the experimental manufacture of the BaluchariOrganic 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 Balucharisaree has won the Presidential award on two occasions for its weaving style and has been prominently displayed in international trade fairs.

INSPIRING IDEAS FOR KALAMAKRI HAND PAINTED COTTON SILK SAREES FROM UNNATISILKS

Kalamkari is from ‘Kalam’ (pen) and ‘Kari’ (craftsmanship), words taken from the Persian for the art of hand painting done on fabrics with the use of a pen and extended to include hand block printing.

SHOP ONLINE TRANDY COLLECTION FROM UNNATISILKS

There are two schools of art that developed Kalamkari initially in India and from individual origins.

Pen Kalamkari

S

Srikalahasti style that used the pen for drawing and filling in the colours, and with a strong influence of Hindu culture that specifically focused on religious subjects and scenes from the epics Ramayana and Mahabharata in its paintings.

Pure Kalamkari Sarees

The Machilipatnam style that came with an Islamic slant, had subjects of paintings mostly depicting flora and fauna, with floral designs as a backdrop on the fabric.

Simple Wear

Both styles that have popularised Kalamkari have one thing in common – the depictions are fine and neatly drawn, there is extensive use of organic colours which are fast, there is no dilution in the skill and quality over the years.

Casual Wear

Today’s Kalamkari has both these styles merged into one with different facets within the art.

Kalamkari saris showcase the traditional simplicity, elaborate themes, sharp detailing and attractive motifs in a host of bright and pleasing hues.

Kalamkari comes off beautifully on a whole lot of fabrics like silk, cotton, sico art silks such as georgette, chiffon, Supernet, crepe silk and others.

With vegetable dyes being used, colours are fast and long lasting. Motifs with trees, creepers, flowers, leaves, birds are popular subjects.

Gloss on the fabric comes from the traditional use of some natural substances such as myrobalan, cow’s milk, cow dung, seeds, plants and crushed flowers in the paintings.

Trandy Look

The etching of lines and applying of colour is done with a finely sharpened short bamboo piece which reflects the devotion and skill of the ethnic craftsmen to bring about such exquisite masterpieces despite the limited resources.

Corporate Wear Look

A time-consuming and arduous task, that involves patience and dedication, it is the sharpness of the lines, the fine details and the picturesque outcome that make this ethnic effort worth its while.

Kalamkari pure cotton sarees in the printed variety have block prints featuring floral designs and geometrical patterns arranged in designer fashion.

Modern abstract designs have also been included in recent times to resounding applause from the market.

Ethnic art is like any other art. It is however the toil and the effort in producing these exceptional works of detail and flawlessness despite the limited resources available, that truly give it its value.

Cosy Look

There are fine pure Tussar Silk Sarees with multi-colour Kalamkari. where multi-colour borders and thematic representations on the pallu or end piece that go well with the central design.

You have the largely plain or lightly adorned sarees with attractive hand painted bootis all over.

Then you have the veg.dyed sarees in Dupion silk sarees and Supernet sarees that have finely marked lines and accentuate the effect of the pictorial depictions.

There are other fine offerings in cotton and other fabrics that make the Kalamkari cotton sarees a prized possession.
