Brief histories of saree to be known before getting into the discussion
about sarees are made. Indian saree was first mentioned in Wrik Veda,
the oldest surviving literature of the world, written somewhere around
3000 B.C. The word saree has come from the Sanskrit word “sati" which
means a strip of cloth. This sound first evolved into “sadi" and then
saree.

handloom sarees are on the rise every day. So it will be
very appropriate to talk about handloom sarees first in present
situation.
The
handloom sarees
are made from silk or cotton thread. Sizing, attaching the wrap, weft
winding and weaving was done by the weavers while the process of thread
dying and wrapping was outsourced. The process is very important and
plays a very major role in weaving Of these sarees. Handloom sarees are
weaved in many places of India supporting many families for their
livelihood.
Banarasi handloom silk sarees are precious possession of the holy city
of Varanasi which is in the state of Uttar Pradesh in India. This saree
is the most chosen one for Indian ladies, specially the Bengali brides.
These are the festive sarees with intricately woven designs of golden
and silver thread. There is a combination of Persian and Indian art
crafted by very expert artisans in banarasi silk handloom saree.
Bengal taant handloom sarees are woven in many places of West Bengal
like Phulia, Begampur and Nadia etc. These are
cotton handloom sarees

wearer in a tropical country like India.
There is no second opinion about it that Indian tradition is going hand
in hand with its handloom sarees. Any other type of saree is of
secondary importance in the fashion world of India.
