    The History of Paithani Sarees
    The Paithani is the Queen of Silks, the pinnacle of
    Royalty, a representation of Beauty, and an elegant
    weave.

    The Nizam of Hyderabad, Asaf Jah II, attempted to


    introduce the Paithani sarees to the royal court in
    1712, which marks the beginning of the Paithani
    saree's history. The Paithani sarees, on the other hand,
    were made in a Maharashtrian village called Paithan
    close to Aurangabad. Paithan, which dates back to the
    early 17th century, is a significant silk-producing
    region.
    Materials used in the craft
    Main raw material used for weaving Paithani saree is Mulbery Silk yarn and Zari.
    Preferably, filature silk is used as warp and charakha silk is used as weft. Another major
    raw material is pure gold and silver 'Zari'
    Process of Manufacturing
    The method of making a paithani
    saree is laborious. The journey of
    weaving each thread that connects
    components of life into one golden
    fabric starts once the loom is set up.
    An artist with deft fingers dedicates
    himself to the road of endless
    weaving, which can take anywhere
    from a month to two years, using soft
    handmade cotton pins threaded with
    silk of selected hues and Zari.
    Traditional Colours, Motifs & Designs
    The Vine and Flowers (Asavali) and Squarish
    floral themes are the two oldest types of
    traditional Paithani artwork. The petal form
    (kalas Pakli), the fan (Pankha), the count (Narali),
    and the cotton bud are some further classic
    patterns. The Humaparindas (the pheasant), the
    bangdimor (the peacock in a bangle), the Tota
    maina (parrots), the Anarvel (the pomegranate
    blossom), and the Behesti Parinda were some of
    the themes that were influenced by the Mughul
    culture. The Drakshavel (Vine and Grapes), kuyri
    (the paisleys), and gokarna vel motifs are still
    widely used.
    Traditional Colours, Motifs & Designs
    The Paithani colours are known by their
    names: Aboli (peach-pink), Firozi (white-red
    pale green), Gujri (black white blend), Kaali
    Chandrakala, Miranhji (black red blend),
    orphankhi (green-blue blend), Motia (pale
    pink), Neeligunji (blue), Pasila (red-pink
    green blend), Pophali (yellow), Samprus
    (green-red), Sankirodak.
    Articles made using the craft
    Current status of the craft…
    Since many years ago, paithani silk has been spun for ladies in Maharashtra and
    others who travel there in pursuit of the renowned fabric.
    Paithani changed from having a cotton basis to one with a silk base over time.
    Cotton was utilized for the fabric's body, while silk was used for the weft patterns
    and the borders. The Paithani sari is no longer made with any cotton at all. On the
    design front, the major shift is that weavers have switched from narrow borders to
    broader ones, modifying the form of the sari so that it can now fit a variety of
    motifs in addition to intricate designs and the revival of ancient complex patterns.
    It is not merely a piece of material or a wrap of simple efforts. It is a symbol of the
    time long gone and the heirloom passed down from the royals of the homeland
    who watch over us. It is more than silk; it is a path to our own royal grandeur.
