Tales of unrivalled artistry, the brilliance of craftsmanship, and a testament to unparalleled beauty, the pristine Chanderi Silk Sarees is an indispensable addition to the wardrobes of women chasing the dream of making an entrance with their drop-dead gorgeous appearance. The heritage craft of weaving Chanderi Silk dates back centuries ago. Legendary mentions of Chanderi silk comprehensively talk about Shishupal, the cousin of Lord Krishna, who created the first-ever Chanderi fabric. While this has been a belief since the Vedic era, the footprints of Chanderi were engraved in the Mughal era and in the years later. While the members of the Mughal royal family admired this handicraft with all their hearts and the fabric soon became one of the most prized possessions of the royals and the rich of those times, it was the 1890s when the evolution of Chanderi weaves began.
Fun fact: Chanderi fabric is named after the town it is crafted in—Chanderi, Madhya Pradesh.
It was at this time that the weavers switched from hand-spun yarn to mill-made yarn to weave the Chanderi masterpiece. The royals of Scindia began to patronise the iconic weave in 1910. This is when the gold motif first appeared on the surface of a cotton muslin saree and the utilisation of silk yarn took place. These are just a few facts about the roots and origins of a Chanderi weave; its mystical tale has so much more to it.
