The Chattisgarh saree is a
pure silk fabric made from ‘wild silk’ yarn. Obtained from silkworms which
breed on the trees in the Jharkhand forests, the silk yarn is coarser and has a
lustre as compared to conventional silk from domestically bred mulberry fed
silkworms.
Chattisgarh
is in the central part of India. Chattisgarh weaves woven by Bastar tribesmen
produce kosa or tussar silk, pure cotton, linen and natural dyed saris.
Tussar Silk,
also known as ‘Kosa’ Silk, is made from silk obtained from several species of
caterpillars, of the moth genus Antheraea. It is also known as ‘wild silk’, a
name given because the silkworms breed on trees unlike mulberry such as Sal and
Arjun found in the forests of Jharkhand. The raw silk has a deep golden colour
and is of good texture.
Tussar Silk
staples are shorter and less expensive in comparison to that of cultivated silk
because of the resulting quality of the produce from these silkworms in
comparison to that from cultivated types.
The cocoons
are generally boiled to make the cocoon soft for easy extraction of silk,
thereby killing the larvae within the shells. However some weavers prefer to
allow the silkworms to leave the cocoon before boiling. This takes ten to
fifteen days after they have fed on the leaves, and is popularly known as
Ahimsa or non-violent silk .
Tussar Silk
is mainly found in India, in the states of Jharkhand, Chattisgarh, and
Bhagalpur in Bihar, which is also famous as a commercial centre for the
production of Tussar Silk. Eastern parts of India like Orissa and West Bengal
and a small portion of Maharashtra and Andhra Pradesh also contribute to Tussar
Silk production in India.
Chattisgarh Sarees are famous for the special use of
the printing techniques of block batik and dabu. Organic dyes used, show up as
vibrant color combinations on these saris. Tribal prints of trees, human
figures, flowers, animals are popular motifs on the Chattisgarh Handloom
Sarees.
Ari embroidery, jaali or net embroidery in geometric
or floral design is also a prevalent feature in Chattisgarh sarees.
Tribals in
Chattisgarh, for whom sericulture accounts as a major source of livelihood, are
skilled weavers of hand-woven Tussar Silk Sarees. Hand spun and coloured with vegetable dyes,
the fabrics they produce are eco-friendly.
The use of
leftover silk from woven fabrics, are also used to create designs on the main
fabric and is a by-product of the need for variation in the weaves. A
time-consuming arduous process, it has spawned a new breed of specialists in
the art who are completely devoted to it.
The woven
Tussar Silk Saree has a coarse texture, is light on the body, airy and has a
comfortable feel about it. However as a
delicate fabric, maintenance requires a little care and attention, with dry
cleaning of the Saree mostly recommended.
Innovative experiments have created a fusion of traditional and
trendy.
