Embrace the Intricacies & Legacy of Jamdani Dupattas from Jaypore
A fabric as soft as a bird's feather has been highly prized by all royalties and people alike. Jamdani, a weave intimately woven with the craft heritage of India, produces one of the most iconic fabrics in the world. The weavers use a discontinuous weft technique to create a piece of cloth that is said to pass through a ring easily. Such fine and soft is the fabric they weave. The craft has been around the subcontinent since the 9th century, making it historically significant. Adorning Jamdani is not just that; it's wearing the cultural pride and legacy of the country.
Curating a collection of Jamdani dupattas has been an exhilarating journey for Jaypore. The dupatta's soft-to-the-touch texture and eclectic colors are a delight to wear. The handcrafted dupattas are inlaid with motifs like the jhalar, tircha, and butidar. They are made from high-quality cotton, organza, or silk.
Tracing the History of Jamdani
The word Jamdani is of Persian origin. The "Jam" means flowers, and "Dani" means vase. It is indicative of the floral pattern that can be seen on the fabrics. The first instance that we hear of the craft is from a 9th-century Arab traveler by the name of Sulaiman. He wrote of a fine, delicate fabric in the Rashmi kingdom (the undivided Bengal region) that could pass through a ring. As time passed, the fabric remained steadfast in use. By the 12th century, the weavers started infusing Islamic cultural influences into the fabric's motifs, patterns, and colors.
Weavers use various motifs known as the jhalar, butidar, and tircha. While the craft was extensively used in the Bengal region, it reached its pinnacle during the Mughal rule. The Mughals became the royal patrons of the craft and wore it extensively.

The Intricate Weaving Process of Jamdani
The Jamdani weavers take great pride in their work, and rightly so. It is one of the most advanced weaving processes in the world, adding a method called the continuous weft. They can use up to 300 discontinuous wefts to weave the motifs on the fabric, making it one of the most complex weaving techniques in the world. Weavers spend long hours weaving, and it can take years to weave one item. Such is the craft's complex and labor-intensive technique. One of the heartwarming aspects of the craft's weaving community is the dedication and pride they take in their work. They ensure that the craft's knowledge is not lost to the world and is passed down to the next generation, thus ensuring the craft's legacy continues.

Care Guidelines for Jamdani Dupattas
It is utmost necessary that you care for your cotton Jamdani dupattas or others. If taken off properly, it helps maintain the original condition for longer. Here are a few care instructions to help you with:
- For delicate fabrics, always dry clean it. This applies to the attires that have intricate works as well.
- Keep your dupattas away from any moisture-laden place. Thus preventing any unwanted mold or insect infestation.
- Never dry it in direct sunlight. This discolors the fabric.
- For any stain, remove it using a moist cloth. Ensure not to rub it vigorously.
- If you have not used the dupattas for a long time, change their folds. This will prevent permanent fold marks and fraying.
- Avoid using bleach or harsh chemicals on the dupatta. Bleach severely weakens the fabric, making it prone to wear and tear quickly.
