Mysore Silk Sarees Online:
The Mysore Silk Saree was introduced initially as a fabric for the
Royal family. Later it became a grand fabric for the public at large, to be
worn on special occasions. The passage of time has neither dimmed its grandeur
nor diminished its appeal.Mysore,
Karnataka is the home of the Mysore Silk Sarees; elegant showpieces of grandeur
worthy of their creation. Despite its long innings in the Indian market it has
neither lost its appeal nor has the demand ceased.The distinguishing feature of this
saree is the usage of pure silk and 100% pure gold zari (a golden
coloured thread containing 65% of silver and 0.65% of gold).The
Mysore silk saree is famous for the purity of its silk and a very painstaking
process in its making, which ensures that every aspect of the sari is perfect. It
has place of pride for its sheen, the purity of the zari used, its softness and
its non-crushable quality. The sari rarely fades owing to the purity of the
gold and silver used. Despite being a costly and delicate fabric, it does not
require excessive care for its maintenance.
The
name Kasuti is derived from the words Kai (meaning hand)
and Suti (meaning cotton), indicating an activity that is done using
cotton and hands. Dating back to the chalukya period, it is an intricate art
form that was practised by women courtiers.Kasuti
work involves embroidering intricate patterns like chariot, lamps and conch shells
on the fabrics. The work is laborious and involves counting of each thread on
the cloth. The patterns are stitched without using knots to ensure that both
sides of the cloth look alike.Locally
available materials are used for Kasuti. The item that is to be decorated is
first marked with charcoal, pencil or carbon paper and then suitable colored
thread and needles are selected. The patterns are stitched with different
varieties of stitches to obtain the desired pattern.A
recent trend introduced is the use of netted cloth to make the job easy, especially
for less-skilled women to do the embroidery. Women require a month to lay
Kasuti on a sari.Whatever
be the adornments on the silk fabric, the Mysore Silk Saree till today, retains
its quality and reputation as the purest of traditional silk sarees in the
country.
