Uppada Sarees, an ethnic offering much in demand.

by parineeti lal content writer

Uppada, is a small fishing village, close to Kakinada, the coastal city of Andhra Pradesh. It is also home to the famous Uppada handloom silk and cotton sarees, known for their intricate geometrical and floral designs and unique embroidery.

 

The extremely popular Uppada ‘pattu sarees’  woven with pure silk, gold and silver thread or real zari, are a much-preferred bridal costume, especially in Andhra Pradesh and other South Indian States. Being light in weight, the decorative floral, peacock or geometrical motifs (repititive design or pattern) in the ‘jamdhani’ style, with broad horizontal borders and a pallu to match, make the look of the saree so appealing, that it lends grace and elegance to the wearer.

 

No wonder that the Uppada Pattu Saree is much sought after for lavish wedding functions, grand parties and social occasions.

 

‘Jamdhani’ refers to a fine art weave attachment hand-woven on the body of the saree fabric. Originating in Bengal, it has found universal appeal in its application specifically over sarees and similar fabrics. 

 

A variation to this is the Uppada Pure Silk Saree with a floral design, a golden border, and an attractive pallu, that finds it much sought after for functions and special invites.

The more traditional variety of the Uppada Saree, with embroidery and zari work, is treasured for more special occasions.

 

Richly woven Uppada cotton sarees are in demand for their quality, traditional zari or trendy printed borders. Uppada cotton sarees, with jamdhani patterns and embroidery work have their own appeal.

 

Variations in the prints and borders with floral, geometric or other attractive themes find preference with college-goers, professors or even corporate ladies.

Zari booties on the ‘pallu’ and patti borders, give it a grander touch as fashion wear or for special functions.

 

How does one get to possess an Uppada saree? Simple! One can directly reach Uppada and contact the weavers and if they understand the requirements correctly, wait for them to weave it for you. Or search for agents who can get it done – and mind you for a price!

 

Or better still! One can log on to the online website www.unnatisilks.com, which has the largest collection of ethnic Sarees and Salwar Kameez materials and there you are- you get Uppada Sarees of choice designs, colours and patterns and at extremely reasonable prices.

 

The Uppada Saree is a captivating ethnic offering that leaves everybody spell-bound.
