Unravelling the origins of Ikat Silk Sarees
The origin of Ikat traverses regional borders, with roots in the Gujarat, Telangana, and Odisha states. These hand-loomed sarees are found in unique forms across the land, differentiated by colours, patterns, and looming techniques. What sets apart each subcategory of the Ikat weave are the unique methods incorporated by the artisans, who sweat their hearts out to materialise a silk saree of pinnacle quality.
The nuances of Ikat
Over the years, each region has given birth to its own version of the Ikat silk saree. These featured distinguishable patterns ranging from geometrical symmetries to motifs of tribal culture and mythological figures. Some of the popular varieties of the Ikat silk saree, each with an identification of its own across the country, are the Pochampally (Telangana), Sambalpuri (Odisha), and gujarati Patola saree. Sharing the fame with these are the Bomaki (Odisha), Baluchari (West Bengal), and Puttapaka (Telangana) sarees.
Craftsmanship and looming technique
The Ikat method of making these indigenous silk sarees involves extensive artisanal work. Weavers expertly combine the warp (crosswise) and weft (lengthwise) threads on the loom before subjecting them to appearance-enhancing processes such as starching and washing. The threads are initially bathed in ethically sourced natural dyes and then set on the loom.
