It is impossible to ignore ‘fashion saris’ when talking about south Indian handlooms, for today the majority of its saris fit this category, although many traditional elements have been incorporated into them. for instance, the styles, techniques and designs of the fine white kosara pujava muslins are now commonly found in the popular ‘Coimpatore’ sari woven in the Coimbatore/Erode/Salem area. The cotton yarn is dyed before weaving and the zari replaced by coored silks, but the traditional basic design structure of these saris patterning and satin-weave borders. Today, most of the field patterning is woven in the weft rather than the warp, probably because powerlooms rather than handlooms are used.
Southern Karnataka also creates saris for specific regional markets, such as silk bandhanis for western India and silk jamdanis for Bengal. Although they are technically skilful, their colors are often atypical of the regional saris they mimic and their designs distinctly modern.

Furniture has never been a part of India’s tradition, perhaps because of the climate. To stay cool, traditionally, Indians sat, slept and ate on the floor. Because of this, floor coverings acquired importance and were elaborated as a craft. Mats, carpets, and rugs from India are woven with intricate patterns and painstaking detail. The traditional Indian rug, called a durrie (pronounced ‘the- ree’), is even in high demand on the international market! This simple sturdy floor covering from Rajasthan in western India has now become famous, for good reason.The durrie is a flat woven rug. It is durable and sturdy. Best of all, it does not collect dust like most carpets. Easily washable the durrie is quickly coming into fashion as the practical and stylish rug of choice!Durrie making became a veritable art when it gained royal patronage under the Mughal kings of India. Even though the taste for pile carpets was developing in India, durries were still placed under the carpets! The royal patrons kept up the quality and introduced rich colors and designs. One Maharaja of Jaisalmer used to pay a gold guinea for each fine durrie produced by his weavers, and these came to be known as guinea durries!
With the huge migrations and disruptions that accompanied India’s independence and partition in 1947, it looked like durrie weaving would become extinct. The nouvea riche were westernised in taste and preferred pile carpets to Rajasthani durries. Many princely homes disposed of their old durrie collections. There was a sharp decline in quality of durrie weaving.

However, with an increasing awareness of India’s heritage and priceless crafts treasures, there was a renewed interest in such handicrafts as durrie weaving. Weavers once again started to create these beautiful Indian rugs. Earlier, colors like maroon, black and blue were the dominant colors. Now cntemporary designs and pastel colors are also used.

Durrie weaving is done on a simple loom with just one instrument- a fork called a panja.
The weaving is done in floral and geometric patterns with strong threads, usually wool. Another advantage of a durrie is that it is reversible! The pattern appears on both sides of the rug!

ShalinCraft has durries in various sizes, shapes and colors, woven by the craftspeople of Rajasthan. Check out the square, rectangular and round rugs, perfect to set off certain areas in the room. Our runners are great for the hallway. Any durrie you choose is durable, colourful and easy to maintain. They will not collect dust as much as a regular carpet. Though they have fine, delicate designs, durries are made to withstand rough use. Bring home the fine handiwork of Indian weavers, and a rug with a history of hundreds of years.

Rakshabandhan or Rakhi which is celebrated on a full moon day in the month of Sravan . “Raksha” means protection, “bandhan” means bound or binding.

In South India, it is celebrated as Avani avittam. The holy thread (Upanayan) is changed and libation of water is offered to the ancestors and Rishis on this occasion. The new thread is worshipped with saffron and turmeric paste before wearing and the old one is discarded in the water of a pond, a tank or a river. This day is especially significant for a Brahmin boy who has recently been invested with an upanayan (holy thread). It reminds him of the glory and significance of religion. Vedas are also read and recited on this day.

In Bombay coconuts are offered to the sea god Varuna on this occasion. Exchange of sweets, setting up of fairs, visiting the relatives and friends, sending the ‘rakhis’by post to brothers living at far off places, and remembering the Rishis and Gurus, whom we are indebted to, for their guidance and spiritual knowledge are other highlights of this festival.
