The Baluchari of Bengal is at par with the Benaresi of the North, the Paithani of Maharashtra, and the Kanjeevaram of Tamil Nadu. These statement silks are popular as bridal sarees and are known for the complexity of their composition. The endpiece of a Baluchari saree is unmistakable for woven in this section of the long, flowing fabric are figures and motifs that recount an episode from the epics or the Puranas. The one that you see on this page has episodes from itihasa woven into the endpiece. While this may not be the saree for your pheras, it would be a valuable addition to the trousseau of any fashionable bride.

The base colour is an understated silvery cream, which serves to bring out the meaty crimson of the embroidery on the saree. The border is of moderate width and features the same three-figure panel in succession. Across the field are booties of a miniscule female figure that has been finished with a great deal of symmetry and attention to detail. The endpiece, in keeping with the traditional style of Baluchari sarees, is densely embroidered. A soft, elegant number that could be teamed with the choicest hand-me-downs from your mother.
