For a
region known as the rice bowl of South India, and with other advancements in
industry, the Andhra region can also boast of having the highest number of
traditional weaving centres or handloom centres in the whole of India. Andhra
Handlooms are the symbol of harmony and simplicity while still maintaining a
dignified existence.
Handlooms
that include pure handloom cotton and rich lustrous cotton silk pattu sarees,
Andhra Handlooms are known for their quiet play in colors, neither dull or pale
nor very bright. The Andhra Handloom sarees speak of soft womanly allure and
slightly rich feel. No wonder these sarees have got a good response from the
market.
Andhra
handloom cotton sarees are simple weaves of smooth texture,
soft feel, that are in attractive colors, vibrant but not hitting the eye. Good
count weaves the lattice is fine for elaborate prints, but the general patterns
are simple geometric or light distributed motifs with captivating borders in
varied colors. There is nothing highlighted nor attention centric, yet the
saree as a whole by virtue of its simple color play and contrast borders ,
provides elegance and allure to the wearer of the saree.
There
is a special range of Andhra handloom sarees at Unnati
Silks that has simple offerings in cotton, exclusive silk and cotton
blend pattus. The pure Andhra handloom cotton designer sarees with the checks
pattern of lightly adorned to distributed motifs in bright colors with contrast
borders would do well for the casual occasions, be it office, school
or college, for regular use, for the informal parties, social gatherings,
outings etc. The zari laden borders are for the more exclusive cotton silk
plain field pattus that would do very well for weddings, large parties,
festivals, traditional functions.
There
are two variations in borders, each liked by their own following. There are
equal borders on the top and bottom in shining lustrous zari on both sides of
the dark field. In the more grandiose version you have rich sparkling zari
borders at the top and bottom but the bottom border is wide and eye-catching
for the excessive width.
While both versions are for the exclusive weddings,
grand parties, festivals etc., the latter also does well for bridal attire.
Sometimes the pure handloom cotton sareeshave
color play with contrasting color stripes of different widths for the top and
bottom borders. The Pallu or end piece would also be having the same design or
pattern, to maintain the continuity.

Bandhanior Bandhini or Bandhej, a highly-skilled
process involving Tie-Dye method, has the base fabric tied at several points by
threads and then the threads are dyed. The manner in which the tying is done
decides the resulting pattern, which could be Leheriya, Mothra, Ekdali or
Shikari. Patterns which emerge are generally dots, stripes, waves or squares.
Dark Colours are employed for dyeing the ‘Bandhani’ and could be organic or
man-made chemicals. Principally applied colours being red, green, blue, black
or yellow, the background is generally red or black.
The Khatri community of Kutch
in Gujarat is known to excel inBandhani.
Saurashtra in Gujarat, and Rajasthan again have their own style ofBandhani, unique to their
regions. Designs and colours differ, with significance attached to certain
colours. There is a special attraction to the Leheria Bandhej shalwar suits in
theBandhinirange known for their unique wave
designs, evolving from a brilliant exercise of the tie and dye art that has
created waves in the fashion world for the simplicity and appealing look on
plain coloured fabrics. Leheria work is done on silk or cotton fabrics and on
long and broad canvases.
Captivating process of the Bandhani salwar
kamiz
The
process of getting the unique Leheria or wave design involves rolling the
fabric and tying resists at various spots on the cloth and then rolled
diagonally from one corner to the opposite selvage. This
rolled fabric is then dyed according to the usual tie and dye process in bright
colours.
When the fabric is unfolded after dyeing,
it leaves a lot of stripes or other shapes at intervals across the fabric in a
design. Several tie and dye processes are undergone if required, to create a
myriad of colourful stripes across the fabric length. Indigo is used in the
last few stages of the process. Mothara is a special ‘lentil design’, popular
and achieved by the re-rolling of the unfolded first stage in the opposite
direction and the resist tied at the diagonal end and repeating the dye
process. The resulting checkered design has un-dyed areas at regular intervals
which are the size of a lentil.

ChanderiinM.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, Dushera, Pongal etc.
There are the Rapid block prints with the latest designs, with
exquisite kalamkari in beautiful floral spreads on contrast patch borders and
designer pallus. Visualize light backdrops with dark hand block prints with

Kalamkari is from ‘Kalam’
(pen) and ‘Kari’ (craftsmanship), words taken from the Persian for the art of
hand painting done on fabrics with the use of a pen and extended to include
hand block printing. There are two schools of art that developed Kalamkari initially
in India and from individual origins.
Srikalahasti style that used the pen for drawing and filling in
the colours, and with a strong influence of Hindu culture that specifically
focused on religious subjects and scenes from the epics Ramayana and Mahabharata
in its paintings.
The Machilipatnam style that came with an Islamic slant, had
subjects of paintings mostly depicting flora and fauna, with floral designs as
a backdrop on the fabric.
Both styles that have popularised Kalamkari have one thing in
common – the depictions are fine and neatly drawn, there is extensive use of
organic colours which are fast, there is no dilution in the skill and quality
over the years. Today’s Kalamkari has both these styles merged into one with
different facets within the art.
Kalamkari sarisshowcase the traditional simplicity, elaborate themes, sharp
detailing and attractive motifs in a host of bright and pleasing hues.
Kalamkari comes off beautifully on a whole lot of fabrics like silk, cotton,
sico art silks such as georgette, chiffon, Supernet, crepe silk and others.
With vegetable dyes being used, colours are fast and long lasting. Motifs with
trees, creepers, flowers, leaves, birds are popular subjects.
Gloss on the fabric comes from the traditional use of some
natural substances such as myrobalan, cow’s milk, cow dung, seeds, plants and
crushed flowers in the paintings. The etching of lines and applying of colour
is done with a finely sharpened short bamboo piece which reflects the devotion
and skill of the ethnic craftsmen to bring about such exquisite masterpieces
despite the limited resources.
A time-consuming and arduous task, that involves patience and
dedication, it is the sharpness of the lines, the fine details and the
picturesque outcome that make this ethnic effort worth its while.
Kalamkari pure cotton sareesin the printed variety have block prints featuring floral
designs and geometrical patterns arranged in designer fashion. Modern abstract
designs have also been included in recent times to resounding applause from the
market.
Ethnic art is like any other art. It is however the toil and the
effort in producing these exceptional works of detail and flawlessness despite
the limited resources available, that truly give it its value.
There are fine pureTussar Silk Sareeswith
multi-colour Kalamkari. where multi-colour borders and thematic representations
on the pallu or end piece that go well with the central design. You have the
largely plain or lightly adorned sarees with attractive hand painted bootis all
over. Then you have the veg.dyed sarees inDupion silk sareesandSupernet sareesthat
have finely marked lines and accentuate the effect of the pictorial
depictions.
There are other fine
offerings in cotton and other fabrics that make theKalamkari cotton sareesa prized possession.
