About This Potochitra Jamdani Saree
Presenting to you a saree which is a mix of two famous traditional arts: Jamdani weaving and Potochitra painting (Potochitra is another way of saying Patachitra).
What “Potochitra” means
Patta / Pot = cloth (or cloth scroll); Chitra = picture
Potochitra/Patachitra thus signifies “a painting on fabric.” This art style is very famous in Eastern India and Bangladesh, and it is revered as a mode of telling stories using painting. Creating a wearable form of hand-painting.
How Potochitra painting is made (Techniques)
Traditional Patachitra is made with a proper process:
- Cloth preparation: The cloth is prepared using special mixtures that help the cloth to become smoother and ready for painting.
- Drawing the outline: The main figures are drawn by trained artists using a brush.
- Filling colours: Different colours are filled inside the shapes accordingly.
- Final bold lining: The whole design gets a final dark outline. So all the figures and drawings look sharp and standout.
- Finishing layer: Usually, a protective coating is used on top to protect the painting and help it last longer.
What is Jamdani, and how is it made?
Jamdani is a famous hand-loom weaving style. In Jamdani, designs are made while weaving by adding extra threads by hand. This is called a supplementary weft technique. That is why Jamdani looks light and detailed, but it takes a lot of time and skill. In this saree, the repeated motifs on the red section are woven Jamdani work, while the Durga image is painted Potochitra work. Thus a Potochitra Jamdani saree is special as it combines weaving + painting in one outfit.
Jamdani gives the saree its woven patterns, and Potochitra adds hand-painted storytelling. Together, it becomes a saree that looks festive and also shows culture.
