Traditional Handloom weaving of Chettinad Kandangi Saree | GI Tags | - TAMIL NADU TOURISM

Описание: The land of flourishing fabrics and weaves, Tamil Nadu is home to a multitude of traditional weaving hubs. One such region is Chettinad, known for its vibrant colours and culture, majestic mansions and architectural feats, and most importantly, its handloom weaving. The gorgeous drapes of Chettinad, fondly called the Kandangi sarees, are brought to life by a weaving community comprising a majority of artisans. A distinguishing trait of handloom Chettinad weaves is the strikingly contrasted colour combinations and big borders, which cover almost 2/3 of the saree. Authentically, the earthy colour palette was made of natural dyes that were easily available. The main colours of brick red, mustard, and black were sourced from mancatti (Indian madder) and manjal (turmeric). Back in the days, a zero-waste sustainable culture existed in this region wherein old sarees were used as daily wear, donated or repurposed into pouches, cradles, and more.

Tamil Nadu is a place with several distinctive features of tourism where stories never end.
