A traditional method of weaving fabric, patola weaving follows the double ikat resist-dyeing method, in which both the warp and weft are both resist-tied and dyed before the weaving begins. Patola are known for their rich colours and patterns and sharply defined motifs, which are achieved through the meticulous preparation of warp and weft threads, followed by resist-dyeing and, finally, weaving.

Catalogue Published in conjunction with the "Voyage of A Cloth' exhibition (Jakarta 1988), this book celebrates the double-ikat silk fabric in which both warp and weft are separately tie-dyed before weaving. It is the acme of the weaver's skill.

Brighton & Hove News, 28 July 2023:

'A Brighton family have literally stopped traffic with a new mural inspired by a sari pattern on their new home.

Poppy Jaman and Jaan Madan moved to Southampton Street in Hanover in January, and immediately knew they wanted to make a splash when decorating the outside.

She said: “One of the reasons we wanted to move to the centre of Brighton is that it’s so colourful.

“We were inspired by murals in Washington where there’s a whole area where there’s murals which have been created out of adversity.

“That inspired the idea of making a statement with our home. I wanted to not just paint something that I love. If you just love something that’s enough, but I also wanted to say here’s a bit of my identity.

“I collect saris and Jamdani is a signature saris of Bangladesh. It’s got a colonial past to it.

📷 X

The mural is inspired by the Jamdani weave saree, the signature saree of Dhaka, Bangladesh, which dates back at least as far back as 300BC.

Between the 16th and 19th centuries, Jamdani fabric – so fine it was known as ‘woven air’ – was one of the most highly coveted commodities in Mughal courts and further afield. However, by the mid-19th century, Jamdani had become almost extinct.

Poppy has written more about her relationship with the Jamdani design and its colonial history here.'

Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month

During this AAPI Heritage Month we present Other Imaginings, an artists book made of hand-spun and woven Khadi cloth, with images woven, silkscreened, and relief printed by Indian artisans at Sri Gandhi Ashram in Akbarpur, the Chinmoyee Kala Niketan in Varanasi and Rudraksh in Jaipur. The images were curated and the project coordinated by American visual artist Aaron Sinift in collaboration with his Indian colleagues Kahkashan Khan and Jitendra Kumar. The book was produced in the state of Uttar Pradesh by 5YearPlan.org in 2016 in a limited edition of 100 copies.

The project explores universal aspects of Gandhian visual culture in discourse with contemporary international artists and new ashram artist commissions. Sinift writes:

This book is a seva (service) in honor of Mohandas Gandhi (1892-1948) and inspired by the khadi cloth he wore and propagated throughout India. Gandhij sae khadi as a swadeshi (locally produced & used)fabric to clothe a free and independent India. . . . OTHER IMAGININGS is an attempt to introduce Gandhiji’s counter-industrial vision of village self-sufficiency. . . . This book in an artifact (art & fact) of a living tradition of service that continues into the present day, and is curated as a mix of deshi & videshi (local + foreign), Gandhi ashram & contemporary art. We hope you will take the time to consider the qualities of this home-spun khadi . . . and linger on its fragrance and tactile qualities as evidence of the hundreds of hands contributing to its creation. . . .

The book includes images designed by several non-Indian artists, such as Judith Linhares, Dorothy Iannone, Jenny Holzer, Philip Taaffe, Duncan Tonatiuh Smith, and Yoko Ono. Except for the cover, we are only showing the pages designed by Indian artists here. Click on the images for attributions.

Understanding the Indian Lehenga Look

What is a Lehenga?

An Indian lehenga is a traditional attire that originated in the Indian subcontinent. It is a long, flowing skirt that is usually paired with a blouse and a dupatta. Lehengas are typically worn for occasions such as weddings, festivals, and cultural events.

The beauty of Lehenga

The history of the lehenga dates back centuries, and it has evolved over time. Initially, lehengas were simple and modest, reflecting the cultural values of the time. They were adorned with intricate embroidery, mirror work, and other traditional embellishments.

A Glimpse into the History of Lehenga

The lehenga has a rich history that can be traced back to the Mughal era. During this period, lehengas were worn by royals and were considered a symbol of status and wealth. They were often made with luxurious fabrics like silk and velvet and were embellished with precious stones and intricate embroidery.

Trends in Lehenga

In recent years, lehengas have undergone a transformation to suit the modern tastes and preferences of individuals. Contemporary lehengas come in a wide range of styles, colors, and designs. Designers experiment with different fabrics, cuts, and embellishments to create fashionable and unique lehengas.

Modern Twists with Lehenga

Modern twists in lehengas include incorporation of Western elements, such as fusion contemporary prints. Designers also experiment with unconventional colors and blouse designs to add a touch of modernity to the traditional attire. Additionally, lehengas are now being paired with crop tops, jackets, and even shirts to create a fusion look.

Overall, the lehenga has evolved from a simple and traditional attire to a fashion statement that combines tradition with modernity. Whether you prefer the classic elegance of a saadgi lehenga or the contemporary flair of a modern twist, the lehenga continues to be a beloved and versatile outfit for special occasions.

the desi diaspora clothing industry has gotten too crazy im happy most of them are sourcing sustainably but im sorry if you sell a sari you need to at least include a blouse piece. why are you selling a separate blouse for 80 dollars. don't stitch it that's fine just sell the PIECE

#tbh i do think a stitched blouse should be included for the prices these go for but bot even the blouse piece????#would it kill these brands to include an extra yard of fabric??#im lucky though i have multiple indian tailors within an hour of me so i can use the piece

Character of the Day - Krishna

I'm gonna draw one mahabharat character everyday till I give up

All Mahabharat Character of the Day Sketches

P.S. : Krishna here is wearing what traditional Manipuri dancers wear when they portray Krishna. You are free to interpret this as art of Krishna himself or of a Manipuri dancer - as you see fit!

Why the sudden change in clothing style you ask? Well, right before I drew this, I came across a post where another Hindu mythology focused blog was being 'called out' for involving 'gods in their fantasy'. I drew this in a rage and planned to include a long rant with it. Something something all of Indian classical and nearly all South Asian folk traditions draw inspiration from religious stories and are by extension 'gods in fantasy' but drawing the details on this calmed me down so no rant for today. Anyway, this blog is a safe space for all Hindu gods in fantasy supporters, even more so if you are Asian or of Asian heritage and I'm always here and on my main (@cyndaquillt) to chat about AUs, fanfics, fanart, and more.

For folks who don't support Hindu gods in fantasy, abe aa tu askbox pe mil (no I will not translate)

#mahabharat cotd #mahabharat character of the day #mahabharat #mahabharata #krishna #manipuri #indian classical dances #fanart #original art #my art #anyway silk is a great fabric if you want to practice lighting on shiny cloth
