Every temple has a story behind it and is important to understand the significance behind every story told. It was at the south Indian temples where the weavers sat down to design and weave the very 1st silk sarees. Every saree like the temples, is made across the world and is admired for the art and craft. The shine of every kanchipuram silk sarees varies in the colours.
Borders, checks, stripes and floral patterns are some of the most ancient and significant patterns one sees in a saree. In an original saree, the borders and patterns are stitched seperately intially and then put together to make one whole body. The joints of every corner of the kanchipuram sarees are stitched so strongly together that even if the saree tears, the entire body will not fall apart.
Tamil nadu has a variety of hand looms and professional weavers that sit for hours on end to make a saree according to a woman's palate. The south is known for making the best clothing even though they are not known for their fashion. A lot of the older generation believed in the weaving industry but over the years it faded away. The younger generations believed in studing further and creating a new business of their own. The population of the south demanded a traditional attire for every occasion since they felt wearing a salwar kameez wont do.
The kanchipuram silk sarees are not made from raw silk or any other raw material All the fabrics and materials are sent in from Gujarat and Haryana.The silk is made from pure mulberry and the merchants use this silk on the handloom to make a 9 yard long saree.
Dhotis like the silk sarees are the traditional wear for the south Indians and are only worn for weddings. They are rectangular pieces of cloth that are often or rather meant to be wrapped around the legs and the thighs and are worn with either a kurta or a shirt. They are often misunderstood for very long leggings. They are often worn by politicians, farmers and north Indians as well.
A dhoti unlike the other cultured religious dresses, has made a political statement in the parliament amongst various political leaders. It didn’t mean to cause a riot but it went on to get its fame to claim. Indians have a different way of thinking that at times comes across as quite orthodox.
