Silk Sarees of India – The Forerunner of Indian Art Style, Architecture, and Historical and Cultural Heritage
Let’s see, the unique confluence of our historical and cultural heritage and unique architecture in Indian clothes.
Temple figures on the sides of silk sarees
Those who like Kanchipuram i.e. Kanjeevaram saris, ask them about these saris, and they will certainly discuss with you very enthusiastically the fringes containing the figures of the temple.
The temple motifs are woven in the edges of these beautiful and gorgeous Kanjeevaram sarees woven in Kanchipuram.
It is now well known to weave temple motifs into the fringes of Kanchipuram sarees. But do you know that the temple fringes are woven in these sarees also have many variations?
Gopuram Katha – The temples of South India have high attalikas called gopurams above the entrances. These are splendidly crafted. They seem to announce the architecture of the temple from afar.
The replica of this multi-tiered structure of the entrance is woven on the sides and lap of the sari such that their tops seem to pierce the main part of the sari.
Just as the top of the Gopuram appears to pierce the clear sky when viewed from below. The various tiers of the gopuram are represented by sharp geometric figures that narrow as we move up. Generally, the fringes of sarees are woven in a color opposite to the main color. Due to this, the side of the temple looks very grand.
Small temple edging – In this type of fringe, a replica of the summit of the sanctum sanctorum is woven. There are rows of small triangular formations on the colored or golden edge. He is called “Moggu” in the Tamil language, which means, bud. These shapes look like buds.
Rudraksha Kinari – Rudraksha is related to Lord Shiva. It is believed that Rudraksha is a drop of tear that came out of his eyes. Rudraksha ornaments are also included in the adornment of Lord Shiva.
Many Shiva devotees also wear Rudraksha on their bodies. Following this tradition, weavers also weave Rudraksha figures along with gopurams on the sides of Kanchipuram sarees.
They want to show that they have displayed the shape of a Shiva temple here. When you open the saree and hold it in your hands, it appears as if you are holding a Rudraksha garland.
legends of Mithila on sarees
When the Tasar silk of Bhagalpur merged with the geometric figures of Mithila to form a garment, they tell countless stories. Madhubani art is closely related to the traditional ritual paintings of the region.
Since ancient times, auspicious signs are painted on the walls for events like marriage and naming. In today’s time, instead of painting the reefs, those paintings are painted on paper and hung. The same pictures and figures are also printed on sarees.
Due to this art is attaining new heights. Along with this, the grandeur and value of the sarees also increase. Artists, especially women, paint these subtle figures on the clothes with utmost care and diligence with their hands. Their entire creativity gets imprinted on those sarees like an easel. Each figure tells a story.
The most popular story portrayed by these women is the marriage of Ram-Janaki. This marriage took place in Mithila. This story is contained in every particle of this region.
After this, the pictures of Durga and Kali on red silk cloth are also very popular and are often made available on the occasion of Navratri.
The original color of Tasar silk, flowers, and other natural figures on beige yellow color also appears to be very attractive. These motifs are available on sarees as well as dupattas. Those who wear them get the experience of the union of nature.
