The traditional Paithani sarees of Maharashtra speak of finery that has sparkle and dazzle. A rich
fabric that employs pure silk threads and silver dipped zari, it is a garish
display that makes the saree both high-priced and special. A traditional fabric
of rich finery, the Paithani saree is a splendid combination of pure silk and
fine silver zari, exquisitely hand-woven and adorned with beautiful motifs.
The special feature of the
Paithani silk saree
This grand saree is known for its characteristic borders and
the peacock design on the pallu. The rich-look Paithani sarees have a plain or
spotted body, a characteristic square design with its variations on the
coloured borders and a typical Peacock design on the pallu or end-piece.
Known for the more
popular kaleidoscopic variety that displays a fine shimmering effect on account
of more than one coloured silk thread being used in the weave, this saree of
pure silk and silver zari is not only costly but also a much sought after and
prized possession on account of the richness of the fabric.
A plain weave, the Paithani gets its exquisite look from the
special way in which the pure silk weft interstices with the silver zari on the
warp. There could be two different borders for the body which would involve
different silk wefts for the borders and body. Additional complexity would come
in when the pallu is also taken up separately. This not only calls for skill
but tremendous calculation as well.
The silver zari on the warp is so fine and tightly
maintained that it forms a silver carpet with tapestry that is dazzling. Times
of golden zari are few and far on account of the prohibitive cost. The silk
used in the weft is Charkha silk and Sidlaghatta silk whereas filature silk is
used for the warp.
The Paithani is today affordable to a sizeable section of
the market. On account of the purity of materials and the elaborate finery, the
saree is quite heavy and worn for exclusive occasions only. It is jealously
treasured to be displayed on those weddings, festivals, functions, grand
parties, that call for it.
