SAREE BLOUSE DESIGNS - 2010 AND FESTIVAL SEASON SAREE AND SAREE BLOUSE DESIGNS OF INDIANS FROM AN ANALYTICAL PERSPECTIVE OF SAREE AND SAREE BLOUSE DESIGNS CATEGORIZATION<br />ANALYSIS AND REPORT BY OLGA LEDNICHENKO<br />ABSTRACT: 2010-karva-chauth has set the stage for the festive season for north Indian Hindus and the brides of those north Indian Hindus who may or may not be Hindu, or even Indian, like me.<br />I often wondered and struggled with the elaborate and intricate, relationships between Hindu festivals and Costumes and fashions, let alone customs. I initially thought, it was perhaps due to me being born outside India, but later on i realized that in India not only are the costumes and Saree and sari or Saree -blouses different and vary by religion, but also by geography and cultural clusters.<br />While i meandered through the Hindu Pantheon for many years, I noticed a pattern a design and a correlation between dress, language, geography and religion. The major axes - if you will - when it comes to lets say { and i will focus on saree and saree blouse designs, variations, motifs and patterns for now} costumes and attire - are:<br />[a] geographic variations: in Saree blouse and sari AND SAREE designs and motifs:<br />[b] Language, topography and religious dimensions <br />[c] Ethnicity and architectural variations related to the geographic centroids of one set of ethnicity moving into a particular geocenter.<br />for example: in karva-chauth and diwali - as a proxy - we can see - the following variations in saree and saree blouse designs, style or draping, color choices, fabrics, and /or IN NORTH INDIA - KARVA CHAUTH is celebrated and so is DIWALI while, in south its pongal and diwali is unheard of.. other than just taking the day off, because its a national holiday... <br />KEY WORDS:<br />SAREE BLOUSE DESIGNS, SAREE BLOUSE DESIGNS 2010, 2010 SAREE AND SAREE BLOUSE DESIGNS FROM KARVA CHAUTH, DIWLAI SAREE AND SAREE BLOUSE DESIGNS, DIWALI+FESTIVAL +SAREE-BLOUSE DESIGNS, KATRINA-KAIF-IMPACT ON SAREE BLOUSE DESIGNS, KATRINA KAIF LOOK ALIKE,<br /> <br />Having said that there are variations even within the north indian saree and saree blouse designs:

SAREE BLOUSE DESIGNS

from western parts - which is dominated by BANDHEJ, BANDHAN, BANDHANI : styles : from RAJASTHAN AND FROM GUJARAT -> to : center of north indian india, such as UP, MP, etc - where the saree and saree blouse designs and forms are mostly dominated by two clusters and styles - ><br />[a] Benares - or banaras, or kashi style<br />[b] Lucknow or the awadh style -<br />If one moves to the 3rd segment of the north indian region to check out variations of saree and saree blouse designs, and correlated the colors and fabric choices of sarees with an eye toward comparsion and contrast - between Lucknow and UP style, olga UTSAV OR olya FESTIVAL SAREES : one notices the differences betwen bengali sarees and bengali saree blouse designs with that of benarsi sarees and rajasthani sarees and saree blouse designs.<br />One might wonder if the sample data from a temporal standpoint should be festival saree and saree blouses or lehenga choli to arrive at such classification and taxonomy of saree and saree blouse designs, patterns and variations or should another metric be used ?<br />I am not sure how to address that question, but to state that the diversity of india could be hidden in modern times and fused by mobility and integration plus by the non nucleation of the indian family: system ...<br />It is in festivals, hence, that the contrast is more obvious and less fusion, which makes the classification and clusterization of saree and saree blouse dimensions to be much more easy and vivid - and hence statistically significant, as clusterization and classification -would loose meaning and relevance if the number of clusters are as many as there are regions..<br />Hindu festivals are also a better gauge for the clusterization and classification of saree and saree blouse patterns designs and variations because of the following reasons:<br />[a] Hindus wear different styles and clothing in bridal season also, which very much coincides with karva chauth and diwali seasons. Indeed, starting today, ie KARVA CHAUTH 2010 -

Bandhej Sarees

Bandhej Sarees

Bandhej or Bandhani is an art of tie and dye practiced mainly in the states of Rajasthan and Gujarat, India. Bandhej or Bandhni gets its name from the root word, 'baandh' meaning 'knot'. A plain piece of cloth, usually in cotton, muslin or silk, is tied with threads and dyed with various colors.
The process of creating a Bandhej fabric starts from dipping of cloth into a colour after which the cloth is folded to a quarter of its size. The fabric is first bleached, then folded and motifs are imprinted on it with a reddish dye called 'geru'. Then small knots are tied by hand to make up the motifs. The smaller the knots and the gaps between them, the more premium the finished product.
The colouring method involves the lightest shade being worked in first order, after which this is tied and a darker colour is introduced. An unlimited number of colour schemes are used. The designs are created with the combination of small dots and circles. Quality of bandhej can be judged by the size of the dots; the smaller the dots, finer is the quality. Red, maroon, yellow, golden and black are the common shades.
Bandhej or Bandhani is thus a skilled work of ornamenting the cloth with combination of colours. And what better way of flaunting this traditional art and colour than in a saree. Some of the most revered bandhej sarees come as region-specific like Rajkot Bandhej, Jaipur Bandhej, Jodhpur Bandhej etc.
Rajkot in Gujarat is one of the major bandhej or bandhini centres of India. Rajkot Bandhej Sarees are famous all over the world for their rich color hues and attractive shades. The Rajkot Bandhej sarees are known to captivate the imagination of one and all with their multi colored range and motifs. These sarees, with or without embellishments, are desired also for their delicate motifs that are figure flattering for all body types and brighten all complexions.

Rajkot Bandhej Sarees Jodhpuri Bandhej and Jaipuri Bandhej symbolize a special process of tie-and dye creating the very popular LEHERIA pattern. Its name is derived from ‘leher’ meaning waves and depicts a stylized wave pattern on bandhej. Jodhpur Bandhej sarees , turbans and dupattas with ‘leheria’ pattern are adored for festive occasions like Teej and Diwali.

HISTORY OF BOMBAY :
The history of Bombay's textile areas is one of the most important, if also least known, stories of modern India. Covering a dense network of textile mills, public housing estates, markets and cultural centers, this area covers about a thousand acres in the heart of India's commercial and financial capital. Bombay has always been on the top in fashion sarees. The seven islands that now form Bombay were first home to the Koli fisher folk whose shanties still occupy parts of the city shoreline today. The islands were ruled by a succession of Hindu dynasties, invaded by Muslims in the 14th century and then ceded to Portugal by the Sultan of Gujarat in 1534. The Portuguese did little to develop them before the major island of the group was included in Catherine of Braganza's dowry when she married England's Charles II in 1661. The British Government took possession of all seven islands in 1 665 but leased them three years later to the East India Company for a meager annual rent of 10.00.

Bombay soon developed as a trading port for elegant sarees and textiles thanks to its fine harbor and the number of merchants who were attracted from other parts of India by the British promise of religious freedom and land grants. Migrants included sizeable communities of Parsis and Gujaratis, and south Indian Hindus fleeing Portuguese persecution in Goa. Their arrival, and that of later immigrant groups, laid the basis for Bombay's celebrated multicultural society. Within 20 years, the presidency of the East India Company was transferred to Bombay from Surat, and the town soon became the trading headquarters for the whole west coast of India.
Bombay played a formative role in the struggle for Independence, hosting the first Indian National Congress in 1885 and the launch of the 'Quit India' campaign in 1942. Bombay (AKA Mumbai) is the glamour of Bollywood cinema, cricket on the maidans on weekends, bhelpuri on the beach at Chowpatty and red double-decker buses. It is also the infamous cages of the red-light district, Asia's largest slums, communalist politics and powerful mafia dons.

Origins and History

Origins and History

In the history of Indian clothing the sari is traced back to the Indus Valley Civilisation, which flourished during 2800-1800 BC around the western part of the Indian subcontinent.[1] The earliest known depiction of the sari in the Indian subcontinent is the statue of an Indus Valley priest wearing a drape.[1]
Ancient Tamil poetry, such as the Silappadhikaram and the Sanskrit work, Kadambari by Banabhatta, describes women in exquisite drapery or sari.[6] In ancient Indian tradition and the Natya Shastra (an ancient Indian treatise describing ancient dance and costumes), the navel of the Supreme Being is considered to be the source of life and creativity, hence the midriff is to be left bare by the sari.[7]
Sculptures from the Gandhara, Mathura and Gupta schools (1st-6th century AD) show goddesses and dancers wearing what appears to be a dhoti wrap, in the "fishtail" version which covers the legs loosely and then flows into a long, decorative drape in front of the legs. No bodices are shown.[8]
Other sources say that everyday costume consisted of a dhoti or lungi (sarong), combined with a breast band and a veil or wrap that could be used to cover the upper body or head. The two-piece Kerala mundum neryathum (mundu, a dhoti or sarong, neryath, a shawl, in Malayalam) is a survival of ancient Indian clothing styles. The one-piece sari is a modern innovation, created by combining the two pieces of the mundum neryathum.[9]

Origins and History

It is generally accepted that wrapped sari-like garments, shawls, and veils have been worn by Indian women for a long time, and that they have been worn in their current form for hundreds of years.
Women wearing a Choli
The tightly fitted, short blouse worn under a sari is a choli. Choli evolved as a form of clothing in 10th century AD and the first cholis were only front covering, the back was always bare but covered with end of saris pallu or veil. Bodics of this type are still common in state of Rajasthan.[10]
In Kerala and Tamil Nadu, it is indeed documented that women from many communities wore only the sari and exposed the upper part of the body till the 20th century.[11] Poetic references from works like Silappadikaram indicate that during the Sangam period in ancient Tamil Nadu, a single piece of clothing served as both lower garment and head covering, leaving the bosom and midriff completely uncovered.[6] In Kerala there are many references to women being bare-breasted,[11] including many paintings by Raja Ravi Varma.
