Begampuri Handloom, originating from the Hooghly district in West Bengal, is a fading heritage and arguably one of the finest hand-woven, translucent, and light weighed sarees. For years these sarees were commonly called mahapar saree meaning simple, unadorned borders with caricatured colourful patterns and designs.

These Begampuri sarees have a similar striking contrast to the well-known primary colours, uplifting the diversity. Its detailed and designed patterns of figures or patterns with a solid display of the distinct colour palette are the results of meticulous hand-dyed work taking up to 4 to 5 days.

These sarees are light-weight and organic- having used the dyed yard of pure cotton on the weft. Following the cluster intervention, weavers received instruction in dobby and jacquard weaving as well as designing, dyeing, and preparatory operations, including drum warping, sizing, etc., intending to manufacture a variety of goods.

Imperfection is the apt word that describes absolute beauty. As the saree is purely handwoven, there might be slight unevenness or irregularities in the stich, weave, selvedge or pattern which makes each and every product unique, "Made Only One for YOU!"
