Chanderi
in M.P., India is traditionally the home of the famed Chanderi sarees, known
for the stylistic Bootis and extraordinary threadwork on fine weaves in silk
and cotton. The Chanderi silk saree has been familiar for its mostly light to
moderate hues in pleasing patterns and its most attractive feature – the large
bootis. With plain to moderately adorned patterns or motifs and small but
attractive coloured borders and exquisite pallus with some adornment, Chanderi
Silks have been popular for the extremely fine texture and sheer quality.
The charm and allure of the Chanderi Silk
Saree
It is
the single filature method of weaving and the fineness of the yarn used that
produces the outcome of a fabric so sheer and so fine in texture, that it is a
tribute to the spirit of the weavers who are the authors of this wonderful
creation. Enhancing the beauty further is the ‘Booti’, ‘Butti’ or motif, which
is an interlaced, hand-woven, shape, consisting of gold, silver or copper
coated threads. The Asharfi Butti, or Gold Coin shaped Booti has been a popular
choice since earlier times, though the pure gold or silver used in its making
has given way to tested Zari, which is woven from synthetic yarn by needles of
different sizes. The bigger version of the ‘Butti’ is popularly known as
‘Butta’.
A major
difference in the making methods is that the ‘Bootis’ of hand-woven Chanderi saris, retain their shape and appearance throughout the life of the fabric,
with no thread coming out from the ‘Butti’ structure.
The
same cannot be said for the one woven from synthetic yarn, which tends to lose
the initial shape and appearance after some time. Brilliant floral designs or
batik, adorn the Chanderi silk saree, and Buttis once only hand-woven on the
fabric, have been replaced by gold-printed ‘Butti’prints on the silk fabric
body.
