Popularity of Handloom Sarees
Handloom sarees are deeply rooted in Indian culture, whether in traditional design or modern design. The popularity of the handloom saree resides in the fact that it is available in many different fabrics. From the various types of silk (Tussar, Muga, etc.) to the various textures of cotton (Jamdani, Dhaniakali, etc.), handloom sarees are available in many fabrics. All these fabrics are uniquely designed using many designs and motifs, giving each saree an important place in your heart.
Designs for Traditional Wear
The beauty of handloom sarees only contributes to their relentless beauty. A lot of time and effort goes into making these sarees, which is reflected in the glamor and beauty of the end product. Banarasi silk sarees, Kanjeeveram sarees, Tussar silk sarees, Baluchuri sarees, etc., are all popular handloom sarees, each originating from a unique part of India. This leads to unique designs, motifs, and draping styles. The popular traditional motifs include flora and fauna, natural landscapes, religious symbolism, and intricate floral patterns. Many sarees also depict scenes from the Indian epics Mahabharata and Ramayana. Bandhani sarees from Gujarat are popular for their traditional tie and dye patterns. The dainty details of the gold zari threads on a Banarasi saree flow out to create many intricate floral and nature-inspired patterns. This is the beauty of traditional handloom sarees.
Designs for Modern Wear
Sarees are no longer a dress only worn at festivals or religious events. They are now worn to Bollywood events, to offices, and even on an everyday basis. And this is because of the availability of comfortable and easy-to-wear sarees in the market now. Designs like polka dots, stripes, geometric patterns, abstract prints, etc., are popular modern designs. Fabrics like chiffon, georgette, khadi, etc., make these comfortable sarees. Even Banarasi and Kanjeevaram sarees are designed modernly to look more elegant. This makes these sarees an excellent outfit to wear to chic cocktail parties.
Difference Between Handloom and Power Loom Sarees
Powerloom sarees are slowly leading to the disintegration of the handloom industry in India. This is because of the cheap mass-made and machine-produced sarees. This has also led to the loss of job opportunities for Indian weavers. So, it is necessary to support our weavers by purchasing more handloom sarees. To do that, you must be aware of the differences between handloom and power loom sarees.
- Due to the compact weaving and even spreading of the weft that occurs in power looms, handloom fabric typically has a softer texture and is more robust than power loom fabric, which will feel stiff and unyielding. You must drape the fabric and feel it to gauge its softness and malleability.
- Handloom sarees are more expensive than power loom sarees because of the labor-intensive techniques involved in producing them.
Handloom sarees are the proud heritage of India. It is our duty as Indian citizens to support this fragile art and contribute to its upliftment.
