Artisan weavers work on traditional pit looms, building each golden motif thread by thread into the silk — scenes from the Ramayana and Mahabharata, glimpses of royal courts, patterns drawn from temple art. The pallu (the decorative end panel draped over the shoulder) and borders carry the densest concentration of this golden work, creating a saree that is unmistakably Bengali in its visual language and unmistakably handmade in its character.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSilk That Travels Well\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe silk base is soft, lightweight, and naturally lustrous — comfortable through a long wedding function and easy to pack for occasions abroad.
