Chanderi in M.P.,
India is traditionally the home of the famed Chanderi sarees, known for the
stylistic Bootis and extraordinary threadwork on fine weaves in silk and
cotton. With plain to moderately adorned patterns or motifs and small but
attractive coloured borders and exquisite pallus with some adornment, Chanderi
sarees have been popular for the extremely fine texture and sheer quality. The
entry of the Chanderi Saree in its new avatar of fusion Sicos (blends in silk
and fine cotton) has again sparked fresh interest in a fabric that since
traditional times has never ceased to amaze.
Enhancing the beauty further is
the ‘Booti’, ‘Butti’ or motif, which is an interlaced, hand-woven, shape,
consisting of gold, silver or copper coated threads. The Asharfi Butti, or Gold
Coin shaped Booti has been a popular choice since earlier times, though the
pure gold or silver used in its making has given way to tested Zari, which is
woven from synthetic yarn by needles of different sizes. The bigger version of
the ‘Butti’ is popularly known as ‘Butta’.
A major difference in the making
methods is that the ‘Bootis’ of hand-woven Chanderi saris, retain their shape
and appearance throughout the life of the fabric, with no thread coming out
from the ‘Butti’ structure. Buttis once only hand-woven on the fabric, have
been replaced by gold-printed ‘Butti’prints on the silk fabric body.
The fusion range of Chanderi
Sicos offered by Unnati Silks includes a whole range of Kalamkaris. Kalamkari,
is craftsmanship through the use of a pen, an ethnic art involving
hand-painting or block printing on Sarees. Subjects of Gods, temple hangings,
epic scenes and other religious themes, flora and fauna as motifs with trees,
creepers, flowers, leaves, birds as some of the popular subjects adorn the
Chanderi Sico saree. Marked features of this fusion style are simplicity, good
use of natural organic colours.
Employed on the Chanderi Sico
Saree, the Kalamkari addition through hand block prints and stylish pen work
makes it look grand, that the Saree becomes apt for weddings, bridal attire,
corporate wear, as also suitable for festive occasions like Sankranthi, Diwali,
