Muslin Silks

Essence of the Muslin Fabric

Muslin is among the most fascinating and exotic fabrics known. It is woven from the finest variety of cotton that grows in Bengal, giving rise to an almost transparent, silky, ultra-light and glossy fabric, that is renowned for its texture all over the world.

The Muslin Fabric

The muslin fabric is produced from a superior variety of cotton that was native to a region around Dhaka along the Brahmaputra river. The quality of the soil, level of moisture and other environmental factors also contribute to the development of the legendary muslin cotton plant. The threads produced from this cotton plant are both soft and strong and are woven by hand into the amazingly fine and beautiful muslin fabrics. Special skills evolved over the ages and passed down through the generations are used in the spinning and weaving of the exotic muslin fabric. Muslins are categorized based on the degree of fineness of the fabric: mulmul khas (or king’s muslin) is the finest variety, of which an entire dress or saree can pass through a ring. Abrawan (or running water) is the second best variety of muslin, the one which led Emperor Aurangzeb to chastise his daughter for being immodestly clad even when she was draped in seven layers of muslin! Shabnam (or evening dew), circar ali (or supreme ruler) and tunzeb (or ornament of the body) are the names given to the third, fourth and fifth best varieties of muslin.

Muslin Sarees

Sarees are the predominant products of the fine muslin fabrics today. Needless to say, muslin sarees are extremely light, sensuous to touch and exotic to behold. Traditional floral weavings using the jamdani technique are used to adorn the sarees. The fineness of the fabric and the intricacies of the woven patterns determine the final price of a muslin saree, which can vary from several thousand rupees to over a lakh (about USD 100 to over 1500).

Origin of Gadwal Silks... Gadwal sarees are produced in Godwal and surrounding areas, in the District of Mehabubnagar in Telangana. Gadwal, 200 Kilometers from Hyderabad City, is very near to the banks of the Krishna River. The origin of Gadwal Sarees can be traced back to about 200 years ago. At that point of time the Gadwal was the capital of a small Kingdom, locally called as a “Samasthanam”. The Maharani of the said Kingdom namely ‘Adhi Lakshmi Devamma’ promoted the craft with help of a few weavers who had come to Gadwal from various costal areas. Initially Gadwal Sarees were called as ‘Mathiampeta'. Technique applied Throw shuttle pit/frame looms are used for weaving Gadwal Sarees.
