Truly Fascinating Arni Indian Clothes

The culture, religion, languages spoken and attire of the people of India are as diverse as the landscape of this vast country. Due to its diversity this cultural hub does not have just one dress, which can be called as the National Dress or Indian Dress. This elegant garment, available in uncountable types and which can be draped in number of styles, suits every Indian occasion. Whether it's a formal office environment or a family get-together it always accentuates the grace of the Indian women.

The saree is significant of Indian culture and encompasses the everlasting charm of Indian women. So In this week I would like to introduce one place where we can get such an everlasting saree of Indian women is, Arni which is one of the famous silk handloom centers in India.

Arni, formerly known as aranyam is located in the district of Thiruvannamalai in the state of Tamil Nadu. Arni is popular for its silk-weaving community. The temple town of Tiruvannamalai is one of the most ancient heritage sites of India and is a centre of the Saiva religion. The Arunachala hill and its environs have been held in great regard by the Tamils for centuries. The temple is grand in conception and architecture and is rich in tradition, history and festivals.

The looms used in Arni are mostly Frame looms. The specialty of woven Arni sarees are a saree is made with two different bodies on each side and two different pallus which can be used as two different sarees. Like that sarees are designed so shrewdly that in one side of the body half will be in one colour and the other half with another colour and at the two ends different pallus and in the other side the entire body will be of one colour with one pallu. This saree can be used as three sarees. For More

3 in 1 Color Saree

 

Process of dyeing fabric in Arni is unique to get such a royal everlasting three in one colour saree. Arni handlooms are well known for the durability of the colours used in the yarn. The mixture of colour gives the durability. Usually Arni handlooms are made in silk. The length of yarn which is loaded as wrap is known as pavvu. The weavers get a remuneration of around Rs.4000 per one pavvu.

The weavers are in this profession by tradition. But upcoming generations are not at all interested to continue in this occupation due to low wages, the problems rising for their survival. Even existed traditional weavers are also opting out of this industry. The weavers demand that only if a rehabilitation package similar to the package which was offered by the government to the farmers, who have lost crops, is provided, and then only handloom industry can survive.
