Every Saree Lover Should Know The Story Behind These 10 Traditional Bridal Sarees

Mansi Sharma by Mansi Sharma
December 4, 2020

Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on Whatsapp

Most of us have often looked at our mother’s saree collection in awe. The different weaves, designs, artwork, and patterns have always seemed like they try to tell a story. A major part of the preparation for an Indian bride is to pack an authentic collection of traditional bridal sarees for her trousseau. While many of us may have heard the different names of traditional and regional sarees, not many of us actually know the history behind their existence. It’s time we change that and educate ourselves about our traditional wear.

Here are 10 traditional bridal sarees that most desi brides include in their wedding trousseau.

1. Bandhej (Bandhani)

Image Source

Bandhej, also known as Bandhani, is one of the oldest forms of tie and dye art in India. Its history can be traced back to around 5,000 years ago at the time of emperor Harshavardhana’s reign between 606 and 647 CE. It is one of the most popular saree designs in Rajasthan and Gujarat and is a must for a bridal trousseau.

2. Banarasi

When it comes to traditional sarees in India, one of the most sought-after styles is Banarasi silk. A speciality of Banaras (now Varanasi), Banarasi silk sarees always stand out because of their iconic zari thread work. The wide range of Banarasi designs includes jangla, tanchoi, vaskat, cutwork, tissue, and butidar.

3. Kanjeevaram

Kanjeevaram sarees are also known as Kanchipuram sarees due to the legend of the Kanchi silk weavers who settled in the small town of Kanchipuram 400 years ago. In the present day, the Kanjeevaram silks have become an important part of customs in most southern states.

4. Kantha

A traditional Bengali design, Kantha originated from the way in which Bengali housewives used strands of thread from the borders of their sarees to mend clothes with simple running stitch designs. Over the years, this household ‘hobby’ gained commercial popularity and came to be known as one of the most exquisite traditional bridal sarees in India.

5. Mysore silk

Although the growth of Mysore silk sarees can be traced back to the reign of Tipu Sultan in 1785 AD, it was the Maharaja of Mysore, who, in 1912, set up the first Mysore silk weaving factory. The speciality of this saree is that the raw materials are all derived from a single cocoon.

6. Chanderi

Traditional Bridal Sarees

You would have probably come across several salesmen recommending Chanderi silk sarees to you. But did you know that Chanderi is actually the name of a small town in Madhya Pradesh? Famous for its intricate weaves, the silk and cotton threadwork emerging from this town came to be known as Chanderi. Its existence can be traced back to the 11th century.

7. Kota Doria

Traditional Bridal Sarees

Image Source

A unique blend of silk and cotton, the Kota Doria, also known as Kota Dori, derives its name from the city of Kota in Rajasthan. It is believed that the weave originated in Mysore but the weavers, known as Masurias, were brought to Kota in the 17th century. What distinguishes the Kota Doria from other sarees is the checkered design also known as ‘khat‘.

8. Kalamkari

Traditional Bridal Sarees

Image Source

As the name suggests, Kalamkari is an ancient craft of hand painting on a cloth done by a tamarind pen. The intricate designs are achieved through 23 detailed steps that involve countless hours of manual labour. It is believed that Kalamkari gained popularity as a clothing design during the British rule in India.

9. Leheriya

Traditional Bridal Sarees

Image Source

Leheriya is a relatively new concept in India as it was found in the 19th century in Rajasthan as another version of tie and dye. The pattern forms ‘leher‘ or waves on the cloth that gives the design its name.

10. Patola or Ikat weave

Traditional Bridal Sarees

Image Source

The Patola weave originated from the Patan town of Gujarat around the 12th century. Each design of a saree involves up to a year of manual work of at least two weavers together. It is an essential part of a Gujarati bride’s trousseau.

#EveOfTheMoment: @poojakawatra shares her story with us

When my son was born, I was ecstatic. There was a new addition to our family, which brought us a lot of joy.

But after I got back to work, post my maternity leave, I started feeling exhausted. I was losing a lot of weight and had a persistent cough. Initially, I chalked it up to post-pregnancy changes, but the doctors diagnosed it as tuberculosis.

Despite getting treatment for it, the cough continued. So, on my husband’s insistence, we got some tests done. After a few X-rays, PET scans and a biopsy, I was diagnosed with stage 2 non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, a type of cancer that affects the lymph nodes and lymphatic system.

The news broke me. After all, no one is ever ready to hear that they have cancer. We had just started our family. My son, Aayan, was only nine months old, and everything looked uncertain.

We had to start chemotherapy immediately as the cancer was spreading rapidly. After the initial cycles, doctors found that the treatment was not working, and we had to change the chemo dosage.

I couldn’t have gotten through the entire process without my husband. He held down the fort while I was in and out of the hospital and during my recovery, taking care of himself and our son.

Cancer, though scary, is not a disease that is stronger than we are. And that’s the message I want to give to every person who is dealing with the disease.

The latest mystery-thriller to hit your screens is Gaslight, starring Sara Ali Khan, Chitrangada Singh, and Vikrant Massey. While the movie lives up to its name, its effectiveness is questionable. It tries to gaslight the audience into thinking it’s a great thriller when, in reality, it is just a bunch of scenes stitched together to attain peak boredom. Gaslight, though a regular cliched movie, had some potential. With a great cast, the movie should have been great. Unfortunately, it is let down by poor writing, which leads to ineffective performances. Here’s what we thought of Gaslight.

When talking about women empowerment, we always think of something huge – sparking a revolution, starting a business, achieving something great. But what about the little things in life? The small things that make us feel like we have achieved something great. True empowerment is not really about the revolution, it is about the tiny steps every woman takes without any fear. It could be the fear of society, the fear of being alone, the fear of losing, or the fear of not being good enough. The women of All About Eve are talking about the little moments, the everyday moments in their lives when they felt the most empowered.

"So, bachche, have you performed the annual ritual of trying out all your summer clothes from last year and wondering how they all shrunk inside a suitcase? I know. It’s one of the biggest mysteries of the universe! Since we don’t have a solution to stop this unknown shrinkage, we need to figure out how to live with it. But we also can’t let last year’s gorgeous, expensive summer clothes get away with this crime. How dare they just…be small? So, I have figured out how to defeat shrinkage. Follow my tips, bachche. They are free, even though they should cost the same as a plot in Gurgaon. " - @theauntyeve

Starring Ajay Devgn and Tabu, action thriller Bholaa just released in the theatres. A remake of the Tamil film Kaithi, Bholaa is directed, produced, and headlined by Ajay Devgn. A pure masala, action flick, the movie doesn’t have a lot to offer beyond a whole lot of physics-defying action sequences and some poorly done CGI. Given that the movie stars actors like Tabu, Sanjay Mishra, Deepak Dobriyal, and Gajraj Rao, it doesn’t let you down with its performances. Read our review to know more about Bholaa.
