The saree is still one of the favourite attire of Indian women. It does not matter how much we are influenced by western fashion, saree still holds a prominent place in the hearts of Indian women. If you are a saree lover, you must have heard of Chanderi sarees. Chanderi is a town located in Madhya Pradesh. It is situated in the Vindhyachal ranges and the Betwa river passes nearby the town. Chanderi is known for its historical heritage and flourished economically with time because of its strategic location in central India. Chanderi Silk Sarees are famous all over the country for their beauty, unique texture, lightweight, pastel shades, and intricate motifs.
The history of Chanderi Sarees and Chanderi itself appear to be intertwined. It is also said that the ancient Vedic classic Mahabharata referred to Chanderi Sarees. There is some disagreement over whether the pearl-embroidered sari mentioned in the Mahabharata refers to Chanderi sarees. However, Chanderi sarees have a history that dates back to the 13th or 14th century AD.
Chanderi weaves were initially resurrected when the royal family of Scindia gave the craft support in 1910. It was at this time that Chanderi weaving began to use gold thread designs. But throughout the 1920s, when the British used to dominate the country, this craft suffered. At this time, they started importing lower-quality mill-made yarns from Manchester via Kolkata, which had a negative impact on the market for hand-spun cotton chanderis. With the introduction of Japanese silk in the wrap and cotton yarns being kept in the weft of chanderi sarees, the quality of chanderi sarees and chanderi fabric declined in the 1930s.
After independence in 1947 Chanderi sarees and fabric again started proliferating. Now many artisans in our country are in the business of making Chanderi sarees.
