paṭolā

paṭolā

▪ Indian sari
      type of silk sari (characteristic garment worn by Indian women) of Gujarati origin, the warp and weft being tie-dyed (see bāndhanī work) before weaving according to a predetermined pattern. It formed part of the trousseau presented by the bride's maternal uncle. Although extant paṭolās of Gujarāt do not predate the late 18th century, their history certainly goes back to the 12th century, if not earlier.

      Patterns such as a dancing girl, elephant, parrot, pipal leaf, floral spray, watercress, basketwork, diaper (overall diamond pattern) with a double outline, and flowers were employed on a deep-red ground. The extraordinary laboriousness of the work and the high cost of production led to decreased demand and the decline of this important craft. The technique of paṭolā weaving was also known in Indonesia, where it was called ikat.
