Venkatagiri,
a small town in Nellore district of AP, India, is famous for its special brand
of sarees, the Venkatagiri Handloom Cotton
Sarees. Finely woven and soft to touch they are extremely light in
weight and comfortable to wear in any season. Venkatagiri sarees are
acknowledged for their fine quality and workmanship and despite trying times
have not lost their lustre to this day. The undimmed spirit of the weavers and
their families has ensured the continuation of a tradition that has contributed
immensely to ethnic handlooms.
The Venkatagiri saris are
woven in silk or cotton with zari, accompanied by attractive prints, from
flora, fauna and nature, elegant borders and eye-catching pallus. The motifs
are very attractive with subjects of flora and fauna generally chosen. The
Venkatagiri handloom saree, once patronized by royalty for its weaving
excellence, is today sought after as an ethnic fabric of unique and
long-lasting qualities. Continuing the tradition and sustaining this unique art
of weaving is a sizeable population of the town, who have retained the old but
combined with new, trends which keep the ethnic fabric alive, even in the
present-day highly competitive and changing conditions.
There
being a lot of experimentation, the variety and range of Venkatagiri Handlooms
is phenomenal. The Jamdani Silk
Sarees, has ‘Jamdani’ prints on a Cotton base and a Zari border,
which has fetched laurels from all quarters. It is a must for exclusive
occasions.
The handloom silks
variant with motifs of mango, parrot, animals, birds and other themes of nature
made from gold or silver zari, has a more traditional grandeur and feel about
it, that make it apt for social occasions. There is an Institute of Handloom
Technology, which attracts those wishing to make a career in Handloom fabrics,
and have weaving as part of their practical curriculum. This also benefits
Venkatagiri subsequently from graduates who stay on to provide their knowledge
in suggesting new designs and modern techniques to implement in the traditional
craft.
