Today we will tell you about five such sarees, which tell us religious stories along with the fashionable look and take us closer to religion.

Madhubani Saree

The folk art of Madhubani of Bihar has been called Madhubani Art. Mythology is mentioned in this art. By the way, in Madhubani, this art is done on the walls of the house. A special time is also fixed for doing this art. In fact, in earlier times, when someone got married in the house, the women of the house used to draw pictures of Goddess Sita and Shri Ram on the walls of the house while singing folk songs.

These pictures are now engraved on sarees instead of walls. This Kala is very old and depicts the story of the marriage of Ram-Sita. This saree is given to the bride by the Pihar and she wears it in her in-laws' house.

This saree was made in Baluchar village of Murshidabad, Bengal, hence it was named Baluchari. Baluchari was earlier inhabited by artisans who used to make sarees through special brocade weaving and the pallu of the saree had stories of Mughal kings.
