Handwoven Dhakai Saree in Jamdani Weave

Experience the timeless elegance of our handwoven Cotton Saree, meticulously crafted by the master artisans of BONGONIKETAN in the heart of Bangladesh—the original birthplace of the legendary Jamdani weaving tradition. This exquisite Tant/Tangail saree features intricate Jamdani motifs that have been recognized by UNESCO as an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity, a testament to Bangladesh's rich textile legacy.

Each thread is carefully hand-picked and naturally dyed, creating a classic combination that has been cherished for centuries. Our artisans employ the authentic traditional handloom weaving with the signature 'extra-weft' technique on handlooms native to the region, preserving a craft that has been passed down through generations.

The saree initially feels slightly stiff due to the natural starch applied during the weaving process—a hallmark of genuine Tangail craftsmanship from Bangladesh's premier weaving centres. This stiffness gracefully softens after one or two wears, or with a gentle water bath, allowing the fabric to develop its characteristic lightweight, breathable quality with a subtle sheen that drapes beautifully.

Perfect for Durga pujo, festive celebrations, office wear or adding an authentic piece of heritage to your international wardrobe collection. Discover why these UNESCO-recognized handloom sarees from Bangladesh—the original Bengal region that was later divided into West Bengal and Bangladesh—are treasured worldwide. Shop this authentic piece of living heritage exclusively at Bongoniketan.
