India is a country of various cultures, as well as a confluence of various arts is seen here. Here at every step, where the languages of the people change, at every step, new colours and forms of art are also seen. These arts are sometimes seen scattered on the canvas and sometimes they are preserved on clothes.
Today we are going to talk about one such art, which has been given a special place in the world of fashion. Today we will tell you about the popular threadwork cotton saree of Bengal.
You must be wondering what the speciality of this cotton saree is and how it is different from an ordinary cotton fabric. So let's read the complete article and know about the speciality of this saree.
History of Tant Saree
The history of sari weaving is very old in India. Here you will get to see the unique art of weaving saree by different weavers in different provinces. The popular saree of Bengal is also handwoven. Yes, its weaving is of a different type, which you will find only in Bengal and Bangladesh. You would be surprised to know that when the country was partitioned and Bangladesh became a part of Pakistan, many Bengali weavers from Bangladesh immigrated to India and brought with them their ancestral weaving tradition. The highest rise of this art took place in Murshidabad, Tangail, Dhaka etc.
How did this saree become famous?
It is very lightweight cotton. It is made from pure cotton threads and is usually worn by Bengali women in Deleuz. But ever since Tant has been made a part of fashion, many changes have been seen in it. Earlier it was made with handloom and now it is made with the help of a power loom. One speciality of this saree is that if you wear it after applying starch to it, it will always look like new. In the summer season, you can get Tant saree in the market from Rs.500 to Rs.5000.
On which occasion this saree can be worn
Now designer weaving is also being seen in the Tant saree, but despite this, it cannot be kept in the category of partywear saree. In this, you will see the weaving of Bhora, Rajmahal, half moon, elephant and flowers etc. These designs are inserted into the saree at the time of weaving. You can carry it anywhere at home or outside. Usually, Bengali women wear it for any occasion, but wearing this desi saree is all the more fun when you pair it with bold stone jewellery.
