Fuchsia, Beige and Green Cotton and Silk Bengal Handloom Saree
Bengal is a center of trade and commerce, as well as culture, in India. Every aspect of their culture is fascinating, including and especially their textile and saree industry. This is one of the most ancient industries from India, as weavers have been producing gorgeous textiles and beautiful sarees for many centuries in different Bengali villages. There is a tremendous variety of Bengali sarees to choose from, as almost every region within this state has a unique weaving culture or saree style of their very own.

The most attractive and traditional looking varieties are the Bengal handloom sarees. These are painstakingly woven on handlooms using traditional methods, by weavers who have inherited the art from their ancestors. Handloom sarees often have a very complicated weave which gives them a unique aesthetic, and the designs and motifs woven into the saree are not only beautiful but also distinctive to that region. From religious symbols to mythological figures, from nature inspired designs to broad geometric patterns, the range of designs is quite vast. These saris, usually woven from cotton as well as silk, are usually very artistic in their appearance and are worn for special occasions such as weddings.

A Bengali style saree is distinguished not only by its traditional designs and beautiful fabric, but also by the way it is draped. Unlike the conventional nivi style drape, the Bengali style saree drape does not let the pallu hang over the left shoulder but brings it back in front of the right shoulder to hang down the front; usually it is weighed down by saree ornament or a set of keys.

Utsav Fashion has a wonderful collection of Bengali sarees to choose from including the traditional varieties like Tant, Jamdani and Baluchari. These can be delivered to locations around the world, in just a few working days.
