Baluchari : Murshidabad Of West Bengal Was The Centre For Silk Weaving And The Most Famous Product Was The Baluchari Sari. The Baluchari Sari Got Its Name From The Extinct Village Of Baluchar In Murshidabad, West Bengal. The Butidar Baluchari Sari Was Once A Prized Possession Of The Upper Class Bengal Because Of Its Ornamental Ground, Elaborate Borders, Fine Corner Figures And Unusual Anchal. The Weaving Of Baluchari Was An Elaborate And Complicated Process, Often Requiring A Number Of Helpers To The Main Loom. Up To 12 – 14 Naqshas Could Be Employed. Thus Once The Loom Was Set, Weavers Made A Number Of Articles, Upto 30 With Different Color Combinations Before Resetting. The Baluchari Sari Had Fine Twisted Silk Warp And Heavy Silk As Weft – Often In Contrasting Colors Like Red And Black, Yellow And Purple, Creating A Light And Shade Effect. Inspite Of Their Rich Compositions, Balucharis Almost Always Avoid Strong Contrasts, Each Pattern Being Treated In A Color Which Harmonizes With The Ground.
