Jamdani

The word jamadni is originally French word. Where 'jam' means the best quality drink in the Persian country and the 'dani' is the meaning of pot, the word 'jamdani' means the best cup. Some people think that this name has come as an example. Upshot, 'The muslin woven fabric is called Jamdani'.

It is said that Jamdani is the primest loom, which has no fundamental changes, may have changed the look of the design.

Jamdani art is an important part of Bangladesh's history and tradition. This art is a pride of Bangladesh. The history of Jamdani is very long.

Long ago the popularity of Jamdani sarees has reached beyond the country. Bengali girl will keep Jamdani sari in her suitcase even while she is going for abroad. Above all Jamdani is a brand of Bangladesh. Bangladesh is known as the country of Jamdani.

Jamdani's fabric is unique in its making it unique. It is not possible to knit any other country's weavers, and it is not possible at any other place. Many people tried. Even in different areas of Bangladesh, trying to make jamdani. But it was not possible. The specific weavers are not scattered all over the country.

From ancient times, there are some areas, Rupganj, Siddhirganj and Sonargaon upazilas living in the genealogy of these weavers. This is not possible for a Weaver alone. Rather, at every stage of preparing sarees need family support. Although there is a similar design, Jamdani saris are actually a master piece.

Jamdani sari's main attractions the unique design. After recognizing the geometric design, it is understood that it is Jamdani sarees. This design is not usually taken on paper. Jamdani artists draw designs when it's been making. And sometimes they also do the pre-ordered work. Then maybe they decide the color of sarees according to the designer's instructions. But the design will remain in the original pattern. They are so skilled that they think design from their mind.

It takes more time to do the entire work of design. To make a fairly quality sari, designed in whole ground, takes a minimum of four weeks or one month.

Price of Jamdani sarees are based on sarees design and quality cotton. Price are the difference for work and the different types of yarn.
