DIAPHANOUS DECADENCE An ode to the finest, the ‘Jamdani’ is the mother of all weaves. Literally translated as loom-embroidered, Jamdani is of Persian origin – ‘jam' meaning flower, and ‘dani' a vase. “In grande dame Pupul Jayakar's words, it is a cloth that is “light to the body, that moves to the gentlest breeze, a cloth of great beauty recalling flowers and running water and moonlight...” indicating the delicacy of its colour and weave. The Mughal aristocracy lifted the textile to its heights, when they captured the centres and these woven dreams were presented in all their diaphanous beauty to the Emperors year after year. The luminous gold in the sheer tischu is subtle and captivating.” The Hindu. At Warp ‘n Weft, we use an impeccable ‘Ektara’ construction of our pure silver and gold zari sarees in fine muslin cottons and gethua silks. The names of Jamdanis come from colours. ‘Shwetambari’ which translates to a white sky, and is in a pristine white, ‘Nilambari’ in indigo natural dyes personifying the blue skies and ‘Raktamabari’ coming from ‘Rakt’, the colour of blood red. ‘Pitambari’, originates from the golden gleam of brass or ‘Pital’ establishes the equivalence to gold or artistic wealth in India. ‘Kadambari’ the bird like rhapsody weaving the melody of Warp ‘n Weft in intense charcoal remains timeless across generations. ‘Dhanambari’, that is rooted in the land of culture and colour is the timeless jewel green. #BANĀRASIPANĀ #WarpnWeft #Weaves #Jamdani #RealZari #NationalHandloomDay . . . . #banarasi #saree #handwoven #heirloom #textilesofindia #makeinindia https://www.instagram.com/p/CDkyiVzpFww/?igshid=xdx5f6l5zyr1
