West Bengal saree video

The Saree is a traditional fabric of India, given a twist based on tradition and local ethos by different states or regions across the country. West Bengal too has contributed in traditional fabrics richly, through the Bengal Cotton Handlooms, Baluchari Sarees, Aari and Kantha embroidery, Jamdhani weaving style and Jute handlooms. Bengal handloom cotton sari is famous for its fine, transparent texture and light weight. Fancy artistic hand woven bootis, jamdhani design, printed motifs and hand painting, enhance the beauty of the Bengal Cotton Saree. Popular as summer wear they are easy to carry through the day and preferred for daily casual wear and traditional occasions. The Baluchari Sarees are made from silk. With silk brocade designs suited to the base colour, they are decorated with attractive motifs. The appeal of the Baluchari lies in its colour harmony and not contrast, of the pattern colours with the colour of the body fabric. Preferred colours are red, green, yellow, blue and their shades. Kantha is a popular form of embroidery practised by rural women.for more details please visit
