Samyakk - Kanchipuram/Kanjeevaram Silk Saree

 

HERITAGE SILK OF INDIA- THE KANCHIPURAM SILK SAREE

The first thing we remember when someone says silk saree is Kanchipuram. Every woman will at least have one Kanchipuram silk saree. Kanchipuram silk sarees are the gems created by the master weavers in the town Kanchipuram which is also known as silk city.  They are the most sought-after silk sarees. The history of Kanchipuram is traced back to the times of God, as per legends the weavers settled in the town of Kanchipuram about 400 years back and are the descendants of Sage Markanda, the master weaver of God. This town is also known as the temple city and was ruled by many famous Kings of Indian history. The Devangas and the Saligars of Andhra Pradesh are the two major communities that migrated to Kanchipuram town and they are known for their weaving silks.

THE ENDURING CHARM OF KANCHIPURAM WEAVES

Kanchipuram also called Kanjivaram sarees, Kanchi Pattu Saree or Kanjeevaram Saree is traditionally woven silk that originated in the village of Kanchipuram, Tamil Nadu. Kanchipuram silk sarees have dominated the world of south Indian saree for years now. They are every south Indian Brides dream drape like a bride is incomplete without Kanchipuram silk sarees. The gleam and durability of the fabric are what everyone admires it for. They speak Indian heritage effortlessly. The zari threads used in the saree decorating must have at least 57% silver and 0.6% gold in them for them to be classified as Kanchipuram Saree Silk. The cost of the Pure Kanchipuram silk sarees mostly depends on the usage of zari, the intricacy of the work, patterns and motifs. Another best part of owning luxurious beautiful sarees is that even after 5 – 10 years of its usage you can resell them and get a new one.

A brief history of the introduction of Kanchipuram Silk

During the reign of the Chanakya dynasty Kanchipuram was ruled by the then King and initiated the silk trade and during the Krishna-Deva Raya reign, weaving communities from Andhra Pradesh migrated to Kanchipuram and thus migration of the entire silk industry occurred. Kanchipuram Silk has created the main occupation for many in the town. Over the decades Kanchipuram has evolved in terms of design and pattern but not its charm. Kanchipuram silk sarees are exclusively known for their rich gold borders, traditional designs, and dense fabric in contrasting colours. 

Essential Raw materials needed:

1. Mulberry Silk: Silk extracted from domesticated silkworms that feed on mulberry tree leaves. The mulberry silk thread is finer, smoother, and of lighter colour.

2. Zari: A pure silver thread coated in gold colour is zari that is used in the weaving of silk sarees. They add a rich finish to the sarees.

3. Dye Colours: These are the coloured powders that are used to dye the silk yarns. The colour powders are mixed in hot water and then the silk yarns are dipped into it to get the dye.

4. Starch: A rice starch natively called as Kanji, the excess water after the rice is cooked. The starch adds stiffness to the yarns, it is used before weaving and after weaving the saree.

 

Weaving Characteristics

Kanjivaram silk sarees are woven from pure mulberry silk thread and this comes from south India itself, but the sari used in the saree comes from the North of India, Gujarat. Kanjeevaram Sarees are considered as one of the finest hand-woven crafts around the world. It is a labour-intensive process, that uses three shuttles to weave this kind. While the main weaver works on the right side and his aide works on the left. It takes about 10 to 15 days to weave a single silk saree, however, it may differ depending on the design intricacy done in the saree. The saree border colour and design are usually different from the body. The saree border and pallu are usually weaved separately and then interlocked to the body so strongly that even if the saree tears the border will not detach. The zari comprise 57 per cent silver and 0.6 per cent gold.

Inspirations to the Designs of Kanchipuram Pattu Sarees

The motifs showcased on the traditional silk sarees are not merely decorative patterns, but beyond that, which holds a strong aesthetic appeal and symbolic meaning. The designs manifested on the silk saree are temple carvings, checks, stripes, buttas, mythical creatures, birds, animals, flower leaves etc. Pages of cardboard stencils keeps moving above the weaving loom to trace out the designs. These designs are first-hand-drawn if required computer also. A cutting machine is used for cutting the design into a cardboard sheet that acts as a stencil on the weaving loom. Some of the Kanchipuram silks saree exhibit paintings of Raja Ravi Varma, episodes of Mahabharata and Ramayana weaved into saree. Usually, the pallu of the saree is decorated with intricate drawings of flowers, temples and traditional patterns.

With the change in trend, a lot of contemporary art also is expressed in the Kanjivaram sarees, like, the images of the bride and groom are convoluted on the saree on an order base. There are a variety of Pure Kanchipuram silk sarees like simple border, wedding pattu sarees, temple border, floral Kanchipuram Silk, traditional Kanchipuram pattu and modern Kanjivaram pattu saree. The vivid colour usage in the weaving adorned with timeless motifs makes them a beautiful way to flaunt. Recently, the weavers have gone creative with their weaving style by amalgamating two different kinds of crafts into one to bring uniqueness to the saree, like, the ikat body with kanchi pattu borders, Kanchi pattu body with Bandhani border, hand-painted silk body with kanchi ipattu border and so on to keep up with the changing trend and taste of the people.

How to take care:

1. Do not keep/ leave them in cardboard boxes or plastic bags

2. Wrap them in muslin or any cotton cloth loosely

3. Don’t place a stack of sarees on top of Kanchipuram sarees

4. Air the Kanchipuram silk sarees by opening them every once in 3-6 months

5. Professional dry-cleaning is advisable, mostly

6. Go for roller ironing for wrinkle-free.

 

How do you find if the Kanchipuram Silk Saree is a real deal?

Although many tests would confirm the purity of the silk, an easy way to identify is to simply draw some silk threads from the saree edges and burn them a little at the end, you’ll find a ball of ash and if that smells like a burnt hair or leather then you have nothing to worry.

Among its beautiful classification, Banarasi Georgette is as popular as other Banarasi Silk Saree, Banarasi Organza Saree, and Banarasi Tussar Weaving Saree, Tanchoi silk Saree.

Heritage of Banarasi Georgette sarees

The ancient city Varanasi also known as Kashi, Banaras commonly, is a home for many skilled weavers. It produces one of the finest and authentic Banarasi Silk sarees with heavy brocade detailing for weddings and other festivities. Among them, Banarasi georgette saree is one such kind that is equally popular as Banarasi silk saree. Georgette fabric is a light weighted fabric, marginally opaque than chiffon with a dull and matte finish, made of crepe yarn using tightly twisted yarns creates a slight crinkle effect. Georgettes are most of the women's favourite fabric for its translucent and light weighted characteristic. Along with exuding immense femineity and charm, georgette sarees are easy to drape and maintain.

Initially, it was Akbar, a Mughal emperor, who was to establish Banarasi weaving and, in no time, the craft flourished and gained popularity under his rule. The King adored the skill so much that he not only used them for clothing but also had his palaces draped and decorated in Banarasi brocade silk. Around this time, the brocade and zari work took new heights and created new opportunities and environments for the weavers from Gujarat to migrate and settle in the town Kashi, this has helped the city to flourish as a textile capital of the region.  Although, with the changing trend the design process saw new motifs and patterns to match the people taste and preferences.

Banarasi georgette sarees are the most loved sarees for their translucent body and glistening brocade border and pallu on a vivid base. They are mostly preferred drapes for evening occasions or parties. It takes about 15 to 30 days to complete the weaving of the Banarasi georgette saree depending upon the complexity of the design and patterns. About three weavers sit together to weave the Banarasi georgette saree, i.e., one weaves the saree, the second one handles the revolving rings and, the third person assists in border designing.

Characteristics of Banarasi georgette sarees:

1. The georgette fabric has an opaque effect.
2. They are lightweight on the skin and breathable and super fluid.
3. They come with a crinkled appearance due to their tightly twisted yarns used in the weaving process, which naturally looks beautiful.
4. The georgette fabric holds dye of any colour evenly, as a reason, it is dyed into all bright hues and, they don’t fade out.
5. The lightness of the fabric assures a flawless drape by enhancing your body silhouette with elegance.

Foliate, Jhallar, Kalga and bel, animal and birds, paisleys are the mostly seen motifs. Buttidar, Flora and fauna are the common motifs used on the Banarasi sarees. Firstly, the artisans create a couple of rough designs and decide their colour concepts on the graph sheet and then selects the final design and transfers them on the perforated cards. Then, the perforated cards are knitted to the loom which is paddled systematically to ensure the craftsman picks up the right colour and patterns.

What is the design inspirational sources for Banarasi georgette sarees?

It was during the Mughal period, the fame and recognition for Banarasi silk sarees reached their pinnacle. The designs are mainly Mughal and Persian style displaying floral, foliage, vines and botanical motifs inspired by the architecture and surroundings of respective lifestyles. Later the motifs changed and saw a new set of motifs of animals, birds, floral, fruit, human figures, and geometric and abstract patterns. There are mainly two kinds of weaving techniques- Phekwa, where the zari is stretched from left to right to create the pattern, and the zari is left under the textile to cut it later. Another technique is Kadwa in which each motif is weaved individually, this technique is a tedious one, looks clean at the back as the front, thus fetches more price. Yet, there is another kind of weaving style called ‘Jamdani ‘, in which the designs are arrange by hands without using any mechanism. Jamdani technique works around cotton only and is performed on traditional pit looms.

As to the concern of colour palette, the Banarasi Georgette sarees are dyed into bright and vivacious hues that were popular among the aristocratic families. These hues bestow one with a rich, charming and royal appeal. The gold and silver zari threads on these fluid drapes add immense glory to their appearance.

It’s that time of the year where the celebration is at its peak.

How Navratri and Dussehra are associated

Many mythological legends are linked with Dussehra. It is believed that goddess Durga killed the mighty demon Mahishasura during Navratri or nine nights. Different religious texts mention different names for the incarnation of goddess Durga who killed mahishasura. Hence, the victory of goddess Durga over evil is celebrated during Navratri.
The festival of Dussehra is celebrated on the 10th day of Vijayadashami. it is believed that lord Rama worshipped goddess Durga before going to war against Ravana on the advice of lord Vishnu.
Navarathri, culminating with Dussehra is a cultural festival of great importance and significance for all. It is a festival that is all about the goddess and feminine divinity.

With line of events on each day, we go in and out for ethnic outfits. You may decide the outfit based on colours, variety or comfort, or even the scale of the celebration. Here are some ideas to style your attire.

The vibrant silk sarees

No doubt, saree is the most liked festival attire for women, known for its elegance and traditional fervour. Festival like Dusehera holds a strong cultural value in our lives, and we stock up our wardrobe with sarees like Banarasi silk, Kanchipuram silk, tussar silk and other silk sarees. We are bringing you a selection of elegant pieces that are bright and designed to be worn at this time of the year, keeping up with the trends that gracefully capture the festival essence.

Keep it fuzz free yet elegant with salwar kameez

Emanate a soft and gentle spark of ethnic flair by opting for salwar suits for this year's Dussehra festival. With the traditional yet chic vibe, a pastel shade is not only in trend, but the options for colours are endless. You can also wear bright colours to blush pinks. Anarkali salwar, Shararas, palazzo suit, dhoti style and asymmetric styles are in trend, which oozes the elegance of modernity and fashion forward. These come in a variety of embellishments in sequins, gota and zari work with soft glimmering texture.

Twirl away in a modern  lehenga choli

Simply sober looks to reveling in the dramatic bold affair of a lehenga set. However, for festivals like Dussehra, you can go off-beat and experiment a little with the flamboyant outfit.

Printed lehengas and jacket lehengas are also in trend with embellished choli. Capes can be a great add-on if you wish to be more stylish and trendy.

However, wear anything that makes you feel happy and comfortable. You can opt for outfits mentioned above or, you can style something different based on your interest and creativity. Just remember to wear an outfit that will express your energy, confidence and passion.
