Quilt making for the home had died out in Bengal by 1925 but is now being revived using old patterns and methods amd good quality materials. Traditionally, a lotus flower is the central motif of many kanthas; the lotus was thought to provide protection from the evil eye and to be a supplication to the gods. Another popular design was the mandala - symbolising the unity of the universe. As in Western samplers, Bangladshi women would also embroider familiar homilies into their kanthas. For many Muslim women, however, it was thought to be against Koranic principles to use figurative representations. Kanthas however were always uniquely the product of the women who made them and of her imagination.

Jamdani Sharee

Fabric in Jamdani Saree
Jamdani is an ancient finely woven cotton fabric called muslin with geometric or floral designs. Jamdani sarees are in cotton, pure silk and tussar silk.

Colour
While the original Bangladeshi sari is almost invariably on a beige background, the Indian weavers are a little more adventurous in their choice of color schemes. A very classy look pervades in the traditional colour.              Tangail Jamdani
These sarees have Jamdani motifs on Tangail fabric and hence known as Tangail Jamdani. The traditional tangail borders had a "paddo" or lotus pattern, "pradeep' or lamp pattern, apart from the popular "aansh paar' which was common to Shantipur. From the use of a single colour on the border, they began to use 2 to three colours to give it 'meenakari' effect. Shantipur Jamdani
This variety of sarees have a powder fine texture.
