The religious importance of Gharchola Saree
Gharchola saree is an age-old attire only used for weddings, this tradition began in Khambhat – a port in Gujarat. This place was visited by many traders and they brought in the silk weavers. The weavers were extremely good and proficient in the art of dying. They produced different shades of red in these sarees which now is a synonym for wedding attire.
Gharchola saree with a grid pattern is worn by brides before entering their bridegroom’s house after marriage.
As the word Ghar refers to house and Chola refers to clothing so this saree is worn by brides. The tradition is that the bride in Gujarat is welcomed in her new home in the Gharchola saree that is gifted to the bride by the groom’s mother. She will then drape this saree over the head as a mark of respect and seek blessings.
This tradition is followed to show care and love of the mother-in-law towards the daughter-in-law and that she will now take proper care of her. The bride wears a Gharchola as an/ Chunar/Odhani, draped over her head and across her shoulders. This Chunar/Odhani is also used to tie the groom’s stole during the time of wedding rituals.
Fabrics used to make Gharchola Sarees And In Banarasi Weave
Gharcholas are made of pure silk, cotton as well as the blend of both fabrics. The traditional Gharchola is made of the rich Venkatagiri cotton which is produced in Andhra Pradesh. The silk-like shine, soft texture and smooth feel of this cotton make it apt for making this wedding attire.
Besides this, the cotton is easy to breathe in, light and absorbs the natural dyes the best (i.e. rich colours like red, maroon, etc). Usually, only pure Gaji silk is used to weave the Gharchola because other silks cannot withstand the rich colours used to dye these sarees.
You will definitely love the intricate and extremely delicate work done on these sarees. Although Gharchola saree price is a little expensive, you can still find cheap Gharchola sarees. These cheap sarees are made of an art crepe material and other simple fabrics.
Zari work in Gharchola Bandhani Sarees
Gold-thread weaving on fabrics is known as Zari which is the most essential part of every Gharchola. The grid pattern designs in these sarees have various boxes and each box in this grid features a Zari border. Depending on one’s creativity and design these grids can be thick or thin. Further, there are woven with gold-coloured threads along with silk/silk-blend cotton/gaji yarn.
Zari work also adorns the borders and pallu of the saree.
In ancient days, the weavers used threads of real gold to craft the Zari, however, it is extremely expensive. Now, the zari is crafted using the real threads or yarns of silver.
The purest Gharcholas are made of real zari are more expensive than the Copper Zari. Also, plastic zari is currently in practice that reduces the cost to a greater extent.
Grid pattern in Gharcholas Dupattas
The chequered designs used in the Gharchola sarees are made of various permutations. But, the most famous ones among these are 9, 12, and 52 square patterns. The grids with 12 squares are known as bar bhag and the one with 52 squares are called bavan bhag.
To create the Bandhani pattern, each of the squares is dyed using the tie-dye technique. The entire original Gharcholas are one colour apart from the zari. But, the pallus and borders of contemporary sarees are made of different colours.
Also, these sarees have designs of cut-dana, diamond, and Gota-Patti embroidery and Zardozi work. The lustrous and opulent Gharchola sarees are adorned with semi-precious sequins, shells and stones too.
Styling Gharchola sarees
Mostly used in Gujarati weddings Gharchola sarees are an epitome of beauty created by weavers of Rajasthan and Gujarat. This drape with rich and striking hues of red and gold, intricate grid pattern and bandhani effect look glorious.
Maintenance of Gharcholas
For longevity and to maintain the sheen of these sarees, it is advisable to dry clean them without the use of bleach. Dry the saree in shade and not under direct sunlight as they are dyed in rich natural colours and may fade quickly.
Since this fabric is made of pure silk or cotton and has intricate detailing and zari work, a little care will keep the fabric in great shape for a long time.
