ONE DISTRICT ONE PRODUCT
ODOP PRODUCT – DHARMAVARAM HANDLOOM SAREEs
INTRODUCTION:
Dharmavaram Sarees are essentially made of pure mulberry silk, with elaborate zari work woven on them in resplendent colours. The characteristic Dharmavaram saree has broad solid colour borders with intricately woven brocaded gold border. It is eco-friendly, highly durable and enhances the grandeur and aura of the lady wearing it in social functions. Though worn in all weather conditions, it is better suited for cool or cold climate. It is most appropriate for grand functions. Designs on the pallu and body of saree largely represent flora and fauna as also traditional legends of the country. Leaf, Flower, Fruit, animals and bird designs are largely incorporated in Dharmavaram sarees. More recently the weavers have improvised the weave of the zari to include various contemporary themes as seen in the pictures below. Peacock and Parrot designs are however the most popular and most traditionally used. The semi-arid tropical climate and the quality of water contribute to the color fast nature of the yarn during production.
Different combinations of workmanship on the saree are possible
- a) One side Kuttu Saree
- b) Double side Kuttu Saree
- c) One side self Saree
- d) Double side self Saree
- e) One side semi contrast Saree
- f) Double side semi contrast Saree
- g) Evening and morning brocade saree
- h) Tape border saree
(*Kuttu: A joining between the border and the body of the saree)
PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS:
