An exclusive type of Jamdani was manufactured for Mughal wives where motif/ design was created with Zari (Thread of gold and silver). This was called: Belowari Jamdani (Bengali: বেলওয়ারি জামদানি)
That’s how they got the name Belwari.
*How Belwari produces their sarees-
They have skilled artisans to make this. To create a Jamdani saree, It needs skilled artisans and a loom. Once the artisans and loom are ready, the initial step is to gather the weaving threads and the warp and weft threads required for making the saree.
These threads can be obtained from local Jamdani thread shops, and you can even place an order for custom colors. After acquiring the threads, they need to be treated and sun-dried. The artisan will then set the warp threads on the loom. Once the loom is fully prepared, the artisan will begin weaving, following either their own design or the customer’s specifications. Creating a Jamdani saree requires the collaboration of an artisan and a helper. Depending on the complexity of the design, it may take anywhere from five days to five months to complete a single saree.
The production of Jamdani sarees began in Shitalakshyar Par, Rupganj Thana, and Odhikar, Nowapara village. Following the ancestors’ footsteps, this area has seen the highest production of Jamdani sarees, with many workshops also found in neighboring villages. Most Jamdani sarees are produced in Rupganj Thana and Sonargaon Thana. Those who traditionally worked in this field have passed down their skills through generations, and “BELWARI” continue this work today. The highest quality and most expensive sarees are produced in the weaving hub of Bishik Jamdani Shilpo Nagari.
At Belwari, every weave is a labor of love. With Belwari, you don’t just wear a fabric, You embrace a heritage woven with passion and dedication of local craftsmen with every intricate weave.
