Baluchari

These sarees are an 18th-century origin in Baluchar village in Murshidabad and were mostly only worn by the Nawabs. The intricate storytelling motifs and exquisite craftsmanship of these sarees make them a symbol of India’s rich tradition. The reasons why these age-old sarees are so popular among women even now are:

1.Beautiful fabric: Baluchari sarees are woven with intensive handloom techniques which include double wrap technique making the sarees more lustrous and durable. Intricate motifs in resham or zari are woven in the saree with techniques like brocade weaving. The finish of these sarees is extremely neat with no extra threads even on the reverse side.
