Handwoven on a parvai exclusive loom in Molkalmuru, this sari is one of great structure and beauty.
Perspective:
Molakalmuru represents a significant entity within the silk industry, primarily recognized for its production of pure silk sarees, without any blends. Historical documentation, including references in the Mysore State Gazetteer of 1967, underscores the region's commitment to the craftsmanship of pure silk weaving. The gazetteer states, “The weaving of pure silk cloth is confined mostly to Molakalmuru. The weaving industry of Molakalmuru is of provincial reputation, with nearly half of the town's population engaged in this craft.” Traditionally, the looms employed are primitive pit looms; however, the introduction of fly-shuttles has facilitated the modernization of certain operations. In 1664, approximately 590 looms were operational district-wide, dedicated to the production of silk fabrics. Essential processes in silk production encompass twisting, degumming, dyeing, and warping, with local artisans such as pattegars and khatris contributing to the creation of high-quality textiles.
Karnataka is renowned for its extensive silk production, boasting a rich history within the sericulture sector, supported by local rulers for over three centuries. Strategic efforts to enhance this industry have been in place; notably, in 1896, J.R.D. Tata established a silk rearing farm in Bangalore. Both the Central and State Governments have continually emphasized improvements within the silk industry of Molakalmuru. Established in 1949, the Central Silk Board plays a crucial role in promoting silk production across India. Furthermore, the Weavers Service Center, managed by the Government of India, provides essential design development and support to silk manufacturers and weavers.
The Government of India has recognized the challenges faced by this sector and has identified Molakalmuru as a vital cluster requiring assistance for its survival, growth, and development. This small town, situated in the eastern region of Karnataka and bordering Andhra Pradesh within the Chitradurga district, continues to possess the potential for revitalization in the silk industry.
Master weaver Ashwin, with great enthusiasm, has collaborated with Parvai to produce this design. He procures silk and zari through subsidized government-approved centers, enabling the exhibition of these high-quality sarees at a comparatively lower price than those from established clusters such as Kanchipuram. The saree design incorporates traditional sensibilities, thereby creating a spectacular presence that pays homage to the rich cultural diversity of Karnataka and underscores the importance of preserving its heritage.
