Introduction

• A sari is the traditional garment worn by
  women in the Indian subcontinent. It is a long
  strip of unstitched cloth, ranging from five to
  nine yards in length, which can be draped in
  various style. The most common style is for the
  sari to be wrapped around the waist, with one end
  then draped over the shoulder.

History of Sarees
The Saree boasts of the oldest existence in the
world. It is more than 5000 years old! Some
people think that saree is influenced by Greek or
Roman toga, which we see on ancient statues. This
is not correct, it was rather a wonder to the
Greek eyes. Saree is essentially designed to suit
local conditions in this subcontinent.The Saree

MUSLIN During the Mughal period a fine fabric
called Muslin produced in our country was well
known all over the world specially in Europe for
its unique features. This Muslin was worn by the
queens and rich women of that time. This fabric
was so fine that 6 yards of a Muslin saree could
pass through a ring. Unfortunately this art was
destroyed by the British during the British rule.
The British rulers killed the weavers so that the
secret would be gone forever.

Jamdani saris are much sought after by fashion
conscious working-women for their elegance.
Dakhai Jamdani saris have a distinct feature for
its most artistic and expensive ornamental
fabric, unique designs which are completely
handmade by deprived members of the weavers
(tanti) community. Jamdani for its speciality
demands a great attention in the International
