Chanderi, is in Ashoknagar district of
Madhya Pradesh (MP). It is known for its Chanderi Sarees, which are sheer in
quality, fine in texture and are a marvellous work in art and design. A weaving
art since royal times, the hand woven Chanderi Saree extracts a lot of
patience, dedication and craftsmanship in its making. Today it is also woven on modern looms but
the difference in quality is visible.Enhancing
the beauty of the Chanderi saree is the ‘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
Butti 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 ‘Buttis’ of hand-woven Chanderi sarees, retain their shape
and appearance throughout the life of the fabric, with no thread coming out
from the ‘Butti’ structure. The same cannot be said for the one woven from
synthetic yarn, which tends to lose the initial shape and appearance after some
time. This, despite the good care, that is expected to be taken, for this
delicate fabric in both cases.
Chanderi Sarees can have either silk or
cotton as the base fabric. Brilliant floral designs or batik, adorn the cotton
version of the saree, while the silk saree has zari brocades with embroidery of
different patterns as Zari Zardosi, Ari,Gota,Chikan, to name a few.Buttis once only hand-woven on the
fabric, have been replaced by gold-printed ‘Butti’prints on the silk fabric
body.The elegance, and the grandeur that the
Chanderi Saree lends to the wearer, makes it ideal for special occasions, marriages
or social functions. It could also serve as corporate-wear.
This plain weaving handloom chanderi saree
has got temple border and different color plain borders on either side. And it
has maroon vertical stripes with mustard woven designer pallu.The
chanderi wedding sarees are elegant, fascinating, pleasant and charming to
brides. These sarees are very much soft, smooth and royal.
Some sarees of chanderi are plain body with
rich and heavy designer pallu. And perfect suitable for festivals, traditionaloccasions, wedding ceremonies and parties. Soft cotton handloom sarees are the
specialty of Chanderi. These sarees are available in different colors.
Chanderi sarees, retain their shape and
appearance throughout the life of the fabric, with no thread coming out fromthe ‘Butti’ structure. The same cannot be said for the one woven from synthetic
yarn, which tends to lose the initial shape and appearance after some time.
