Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow: Under the harsh light of a naked blue bulb, the handloom weaver sits in a pit, craning his neck over a loom, manipulating a mass of threads. Slowly frame by frame, a paisley motif emerges on fuchsia pink silk, sourced from South India. Banaras silk is mentioned in the Rig Veda and Buddhist history texts, which, together with images from the Mughal court, provide clues to its evolution. Silk-embroidered sarees have been an art form during the Mughal period in the 16th century.
To gain an insight into the intricate weaving process, a visit to the Mehta International Silk Centre helps. Here you can understand the intricacies of the process: difference between phenkua and kadhua: the technique of throwing the shuttle from end-to-end between the threads of the warp, and weaving in the threads, one by one.
Three generations can wear an intricately woven Banarasi saree, and it is more a family heirloom that a mother passes on to her daughter or daughter-in-law. The complexity of design in a Banarasi saree is of the highest order — the highest pixels.
The workers, mostly men, may take 10 days to weave a saree working eight hour shifts on wages as low as Rs 600 per day. If the design is complicated, then the saree may proceed at 2 inches a day and the weaver may even take three months to weave just one saree. Sarees may tell pictorial stories; the motifs on sarees are like a history book of influences — Persian and Mughal and Hindu culture. One can find motifs like asharfi (coin-shape), gainda (marigold flower), chand-tara (moon and star), lateefa (floral bouquet), etc.
