Baluchari Saree

The famous Baluchari silk saree from West Bengal has a rich tradition. Its specialty lies in the design of the pallu or anchal, border and buti on the ground and the purity of the raw material i.e. the silk. The Baluchari is a unique phenomenon both in concept and technique. It is produced by highly skilled designers and weavers. Dancing figure motifs collected from different Hindu mythologies or epics like the Puranas, the Ramayana or the Mahabharata and motifs of “Terracotta” art, social life and floral patterns are used.
