Jamdhani or Jamdani is a hand-woven technique that creates patterns of various colours and designs on cotton or silk sarees. Intending to improve the aesthetic appeal, it takes the form of cotton and gold thread weaving to create motifs of geometric patterns and floral designs in colourful hues. Jamdhani hand weaving is a necessary accompaniment for Bengal sarees.
Originating in Bangladesh, Partition saw migrant artisans re-settle in Bengal and continue to practise this fine ethnic art and create magic on the traditional saree.
Based on the variations in the Jamdani weave, sarees can be termed as Daccai Jamdani, known for its colourful motifs, the Shantipur Jamdhani for its soft texture, the Tangail Jamdani for its traditional borders and the Dhonekai Jamdani for its colourful hues.
Bengal enjoys an advantage, through the Jamdhani pattern on cotton and silk, to create such beautiful offerings as the Baluchari Saree, the Shantipur Saree, the Bengal Cotton Saree and the Tussar Silk Sari. Lending elegance and grace to the wearer, these Bengal weaves find social gatherings, parties, marriages and other grand functions, occasions to be displayed at.
So universal is the appeal, that today the Jamdhani is an inclusion in the making of some of the traditional varieties, as the Banaras, Venkatagiri, Uppada, Kanchipuram, Dharmavaram,and Mysore Sarees. .
