Handloom Swarnachari Bengal Saree!
The elegant Sournachuri Silk saree of West Bengal is more often referred to as the ‘illustrious’ sister of the Baluchari Silk saree. The Swarnachari Silk saree has gold thread incorporated in the weave which gives its characteristic rich sheen, whereas the Baluchari Silk saree only has silk threads incorporated in the weave.
Despite this difference, both are similar in weaving, design, and conception. The Sournachuri silk saree is famous worldwide because of the intricate patterns and figurines that are created on the saree that relate an entire mythological story altogether. Apart from being woven in bright colors, the classic ‘swarnachari’ colors in sarees are off-white, deep red with a strong hint of gold. Despite the intricate craftsmanship of the weavers to create these masterpieces, these sarees are now fast becoming a legacy on the very of extinction, owing to the limited weavers of Bishnupur who are continuing their craft.
