Syahi-Begar print from Tarapur on handwoven tussar silk saree collection

Traditional Borsalino design in the body.

Syahi begar is a traditional block printing technique practiced in different block printing clusters. Syahi means black color we get from iron rust water mixed with tamarind seed powder paste printed on myrobalan base.

Begar is a paste of alum water mixed with gum arabica or tamarind seed printed on myrobalan base. When dyed with alizarin (Synthetic version of manjishtha) or manjishtha roots we get shades of red or maroon.

Ummedpura-Tarapur is a twin village and block printing cluster once a home of 100 block printer families of Namdev Chippa community. Today only 2 families left and continuing the tradition.

One of the most creative and luxurious work by us. We have combined the two extremely different craft in a saree to showcase the rich handcrafted textile tradition of India.

This saree is a fusion of the two very ancient, distinct and unique craft of weaving and art of hand drawing and hand painting.

Saree pallu depicting Shri Ram Darbar woven using “Jala” technique similar to the Jamdani technique of hand weaving practiced in Chhattisgarh state by traditional weavers’ community. Body of the saree is hand drawn and hand painted using Vrathapani (Srikalahashti Kalamkari) technique to create lotus and other floral designs.

Featuring Model: Monika

Stylist: Shivani
