ONE OF MY VERY DEAR FRIEND ASKED ME TO JOIN HER IN SHOPPING ,SHE IS A DIE HARD SILK FAN...SO THIS EXPO WAS THE ULTIMATE CHOICE.The expo had all kind of pure silks,Assam silks,Mysore silks,Banglore silks,Pochampali silks,Kanjeevaram silks,Ikkat silks,Patolas,Bandhejas,Benaras brocades etc.It was organised by CSB(central silk board)govt. of India.The place was overcrowded and the response was much more than expected as all the products sold here were affixed with SILK MARK...to ensure the purity and quality of silk.
Everything was so beautiful ....i am glad that over the years i have mastered(almost) the art of appreciating such beautiful creations without getting tempted to buy them.While she was into this buying frenzy i stood near this stall wher they displayed varoius kinds of silk yarns.There were more than 30 35 stalls offering all from sarees,dress material,mekhela chadors,kids wear etc.If you click on pics to enlarge ,you can read all the labellings.
I clicked few pics from the place where i was standing...displayed here are some beautiful sarees.

ReplyDeletei have a good friend that would have loved being there. she has what seems like hundreds of sarees.
ReplyDeleteHow absolutely stunning! I could easily get lost for an afternoon (or two) if I was surrounded by so much beautiful fabric.
ReplyDeleteoh these saarees are mind blowing... i don't even wear saaris except for on occasions where my granny forces me too and i feel like buying all of them... how did u abstain???
ReplyDeletePriyanka,i have a huge collection of silk sarees . mekhela chadars are my necessity....here we wear more of mk.ch. for any occassion,i wear sarees only when i am attending a non assamese function.Whenever i get tempted i think of all the stuff i already have....and it works most of the time.

ReplyDeleteInteresting silks...at one time here in Utah our Mormon church women had a project to make silk by growing silk worms and planting mulberry trees to feed them leaves. It ended up being very labor intensive. They made black dresses out of the silk but this was back in the late 1800s. Beautiful saris.
ReplyDeleteI am very impressed. Those silks look gorgeous. I wonder how hard it is to take care of them.
