Woven magic – Sarees by Frontier Raas
A sari is a manuscript of the history of tradition and culture of its people where the indigenous artisans play the historians; every sari represents its heritage and community. A rectangular piece of the unstitched drape of six or sometimes nine yards has remained constant through the centuries. We seem to be in debt to the handloom weavers for they have managed to preserve the art of woven magic for so long.
GENESIS AND EVOLUTION
The earliest records of the garment can be traced back to 5000 years from the Indian subcontinent when farmers in the Indus valley civilization discovered the art of cultivating, spinning, and weaving cotton. “The sari is probably the oldest unstitched attire in existence. It is the most versatile garment and is both conventional and contemporary”. Every region soon had its unique weaves and to date, every region has its handloom saree variety. Traditional Indian saree was a new phenomenon and women from all walks of life adorned this humble drape. However, the royalty then enjoyed the opulence of expensive stone-studded embroidered designer sarees and fine work of zari that made them look exclusive. India was home to its natural dyes, techniques, and 80 or more regional and traditional sarees.
EVOLVED AND PRESERVED
The sari has evolved into a living, breathing garment: whether on the hills where it is the women trekking deep into the forests for fuel wood where sarees are functional attire for survival, or it is the women of the parliament the voice of reason where sari is frequent fodder for debates about gender, and identity. It is the epitome of Indian femininity and an effortless choice for any woman. Some family traditions are where mothers for generations have been passing on their well-preserved traditional sarees as family heirlooms, whereas some family traditions are where a daughter for her graduation wears her mother’s georgette saree picked from a trunk full of assorted choices. This saga is old but only gets better with time.
