Rasipuram
Silk Saree – A Traditional Fabric That Continues To Shine.
The Rasipuram Silk Saree, a fine
traditional weave known for its long-lasting colours and durability, is a light
fabric with tremendous appeal.Rasipuram, a town in Namakkal district of
TamilNadu, India, earlier known as Raajapuram or King’s Town, is famous for its
Rasipuram Silk Sarees.The Rasipuram Silks are known for their fast
colours, durability and comparatively light weight. Motifs inspired by
traditional architecture, geometrical patterns and nature adorn the fabric.
Fancy designs and beautiful embroidery work further enhance the appeal.
The Rasipuram Silk Saree is
available in delightful variations.Printed mango booties adorning the hand-loom woven Rasipuram
Silk Sari is a beautiful sight, making it apt for corporate wear or social
gatherings.The Plain Rasipuram Saree woven with temple border
is more traditional and would be quite suitable for social occasions and
religious functions.
Multi thread embroidery, kundans and sequins work decorating
this southern hand-loom silk sari is quite fancy and grand. It is highly
preferred wear for festive occasions,
corporate functions and special invites.The process of making a Rasipuram Silk Saree is in stages with care
taken at every stage.Yarn is put in boiling water with the dyeing
colour mixed in it. Stirring the yarn ensures uniform colouring. The
temperature is kept high for good adhesion of colour.
Colour specifications, are generally, by the designer, unless otherwise
as specified in the customized order. Spinning the yarn after drying in shade, coloured
threads are prepared.The Rasipuram Silk Saree is woven on simple
wooden pit looms, where the weaver is at floor level. This simple loom of
Rasipuram is made up of wood and is fixed in the floor. The Rasipuram weaver
has to sit on the floor and operate the pedal in the pit.
Designs are woven through pre-drawn, card punched fitted in the
Jacquard arrangement which monitors the weft weave for the same.The thread generally arranged on the
warp (pavvu) is meant to weave 6 silk sarees. Weaving
a pavvu could take close to one and a half months.The
high cost of silk yarn, lack of subsidies, govt. apathy and poor market
response had once caused a rapid decline in the making of these traditional
offerings with weavers opting to move to power looms and even other professions
too.
Cotton versions of the Rasipuram
saree also flourished as a cheaper alternative to a fine tradition.Thanks to continued efforts by the
Tamil Nadu Handloom Weavers’ Co-operative Society Ltd.(also known as Co-optex)
, the rot has been stemmed in time. Mechanical pedal looms provided in pilot
districts, training skills arranged for weavers in jacquard looms, revival of
hand-woven embroidery, providing for markets for these traditional sarees and
ensuring decent remuneration to the weavers are some of the heart-warming
initiatives brought about by it.
