Tangail Jamdani


These sarees have jamdani motifs on Tangail fabric and hence known as Tangail Jamdani. The traditional tangail borders had a 'paddo' or lotus pattern, 'pradeep' or lamp pattern, apart from the popular 'aansh paar' which was common to Shantipur. From the use of a single color on the border, they began to use two to three colors to give it 'meenakari' effect.
