They are all sarees but the techniques behind them couldn't be more different.
In this video, I'm telling the stories behind four Indian sarees from four different textile traditions, and looking at how each one is made, what makes it distinctive, and the history and craft traditions behind it.
In this video:
• Bengal Patachitra - how a storytelling art traditionally associated with painted scrolls found its way onto textiles you can wear
• Tangaliya - the distinctive technique behind its tiny woven patterns
• Silk-cotton Banarasi - a closer look at the weaving tradition of Banaras and what makes this textile different
• Mukaish/Kamdani - the story behind its shimmering metallic embellishment
These aren't just four pretty sarees. Each one represents a completely different way of creating pattern, texture and visual storytelling on cloth.
If you enjoy Indian textiles, handloom sarees, Indian weaving traditions, embroidery, traditional crafts and the stories behind the clothes we wear, you're in the right place.
Welcome to VastraKathabyDiya, where we look beyond the label and into the story behind Indian textiles.
