Rajasthani Sarees Biography
Source:- Google.com.pk
Rajasthan is the largest state of the country India. The state is well known for its historic monuments and culture, not to forget traditional, colorful art. Block prints, tie and dye prints, bagaru prints, sanganer prints etc represent the ethnicity of the state. Rajasthani clothes have a lot of mirror-work and embroidery. A rajasthani traditional dress for females do include an ankle-length skirt as well as top that is called chaniya choli.
The women dress in either sarees or ghaghra cholis. Sarees may be either cotton or silk and are generally embroidered. Colored stones, tinsels and silken threads are used to create beautiful floral patterns and traditional motifs and enhance the rich look of the saree. Depending on the economic ampleness of the family the embroidery or zari work may be done with golden and silver threads and semi precious gems may replace the showy colored stones. Tie and Dye, Bandhani and block printed textiles are the common choice.
However in the rural nooks of the state the women are still given to wearing long or short flowing and frilly skirts. Ghagras for daily use and Lehengas for more formal occasions are the norm. These are matched with blouses such as Kanchli or Kunchuki or Choli depending on the blouse length. The skirts are tied tightly around the waist and have a flaring width at their base. The Ghagras are generally short extending up to the calf while the Lehengas are longer and reach up to the ankles. The more formal occasions and prosperous households dictate increased width and more number of folds or pleats in the skirts. These Ghagras and Lehengas are also embroidered and decorated much in the same style as sarees are.
The Odhni is an integral part of the Rajasthani women's attire and deserves special mention. It is generally a long piece of cloth (generally 3 meters by 2 meters). Though usually teamed up with the Ghagra Choli or Lehengas, it is also worn over a saree on special ceremonious occasions. One end of it is tucked into the skirt or saree at the waist. It is draped gracefully across like a saree and taken to cover the head in a short veil. Odhni stands as a mark of respect and conformity to one’s traditions and the bridal Odhni is a piece of exquisitely hand embroidered attire treasured by every woman as long as she lives and used sparingly. The Muslim women of the state wear burkhas or traditional black veils.The traditional footwear of Rajasthani women deserves special mention. The female folk from affluent families wear specially embroidered and sequined slippers or chappals called jootis or mojaris. The use of golden thread, beads and spangles in these patterned footwear make them showy souvenirs. These are generally made of sheep, camel or goat hide and the designs are created on the velvet casing attached to the leather. These are soft and extremely comfortable to use. Jaisalmer, Jodhpur, Ramjipura and Jobre are world famous for their intricately and finely designed Jootis.
