The famous handloom cluster of India; Chanderi is creating sensations with its weave magics.

Chanderi, which is amongst the best handloom clusters, is a traditional method of hand-weaving that have been developed over centuries, and passed down through generations, occupies a special place because of its centuries old weaving art.


Chanderi is one of the famous handloom clusters in India. These are the traditional ethnic
fabrics known for their sheer qualities, transparent textures and marvellous works in art and design. These are the mostly preferred fabrics of women only because of their weave magics.

Chanderi fabrics have sophistication, fineness and high in demand everywhere. It is considered as the choice of fabric for royalty, delicacy and intricate designs.


The history and origin of Chanderi dates back to the Mughal reign. During Mughal Period, the business of Chanderi reached to its peak. It is only worn by the Badshah for the royalty, after use, it will be folded and packed in a hollow of a bamboo. It is also a belief during Vedic period that, Chanderi was founded by Sishupal, who is the cousin of Lord Krishna.


Later, the first Chanderi with gold thread motif and geometric patterns on the cotton muslin was brought in the year 1910, by a royal family of Chanderi. Under their patronage, the weavers of Chanderi started weaving of hand spun Chanderi.

The fabric borrowed its name from the town Chanderi, which is located in Madhya Pradesh.


This handmade cluster variety especially, extracts a lot of patience, dedication and craftsmanship in its weaving. The traditional weaving is mainly done for manufacturing sarees, suits, lehengas, dupattas, kurtis and etc.

The fabric is classified into three types: Chanderi silk cotton, pure cotton and Chanderi cotton. The wrap and weft of Chanderi cotton are 120s cotton. Chanderi muslins are well named for their softness and smoothness.


Its smooth and softness is only because of koli, a local wild union used for sizing. Chanderi’s fabric is woven with rich gold border and gold embellishments with lotus roundels or butis, spread all across the body.

Chanderi salwar suits are intricately woven by hand interspersed with the delicacy of the extra weft motifs. Different patterns like coins, flowers, leaves, fruits, animals, stones and geometrics are designed on the fabrics.


Keeping in the view by changing demands of the customers, the cluster went forward to weave another variety of fabric by combining the silk wrap with a cotton weft. Nalferma, Jangla, dandidar, Chatai, and Mehndi are striking beautiful motifs of Chanderi.

Chanderi cotton and handloom salwar suits are perfect wears during summer seasons. Chanderi salwars with zari and patch borders are suitable for college goers and working women. Designer Chanderi sico salwars with heavy embroidery works are apt for weddings and bridal ceremonies.
