The Rasipuram Silk Saree, a fine traditional weave known for its long-lasting colours and
durability, is a light fabric with tremendous appeal. Despite going through turbulent times,the
ethnic weave form has survived, thanks to timely inputs from the apex co-operative body.
Rasipuram, a town in Namakkal district of TamilNadu,
India, earlier known as Raajapuram or King’s Town, is
famous for its Rasipuram Silk Sarees.
The Rasipuram Silks are known for their fast colours,
durability and comparatively light weight. Motifs inspired
by traditional architecture, geometrical patterns and
nature adorn the fabric. Fancy designs and beautiful
embroidery work further enhance the appeal.
A traditional heritage involving all family members,
Rasipuram Silks are extremely fine hand-woven Sarees.
The count of a fabric or the number of threads in a square
inch of warp and weft determines the fineness - more the
threads, finer the Saree. 5600 threads are used in the
warp. The width of the saree comes to 51 inches.With
full-fledged efforts, it takes between 4 to 8 days to weave
a Saree.
The Rasipuram Silk Saree is availale in delightful
variations.
Printed mango booties adorning the hand-loom woven
Rasipuram Silk Sari is a beautiful sight, making it apt for
corporate wear or social gatherings.
The Plain Rasipuram Saree woven with temple border i s
more traditional and would be quite suitable for social
occasions and religious functions.
Multi thread embroidery, kundans and sequins work
decorating this southern hand-loom silk sari is quite fancy
and grand. It is highly preferred wear for festive
occasions, corporate functions and special invites.
The process of making a Rasipuram Silk Saree is in stages
with care taken at every stage. Yarn is put in boiling
water with the dyeing colour mixed in it.
2. Stirring the yarn ensures uniform colouring. The
temperature is kept high for good adhesion of colour.
Colour specifications, are generally, by the designer,
unless otherwise as specified in the customized order.
Spinning the yarn after drying in shade, coloured
threads are prepared.
The Rasipuram Silk Saree is woven on simple wooden
pit looms. Designs are woven through pre-drawn, card
punched and fitted in the Jacquard arrangement which
monitors the weft weave for the same.
The thread generally arranged on the warp (pavvu) is
meant to weave 6 silk sarees. Weaving a pavvu could
take close to one and a half months.
The high cost of silk yarn, lack of subsidies, govt.
policies showing their apathy and poor market
response had once caused a rapid decline in the
making of these traditional offerings with weavers
opting to move to power looms and even other
professions too. Cotton versions of the Rasipuram
saree also flourished as a cheaper alternative to a fine tradition.
Thanks to continued efforts by the Tamil Nadu Handloom
Weavers’ Co-operative Society Ltd.(also known as Co-
optex) , the rot has been stemmed in time. Mechanical
pedal looms provided in pilot districts, training skills
arranged for weavers in jacquard looms, revival of hand-
woven embroidery, providing for markets for these
traditional sarees and ensuring decent remuneration to
the weavers are some of the heart-warming initiatives
brought about by it.
Back on track after a momentary setback, the Rasipuram
Silk Saree continues to shine.
