Hand Woven Tradition · Mughal Muslin Heritage of Bengal

Jamdani

Phulia & Shantipur, Bengal

Each motif is worked into the cloth by hand with a fine bamboo needle, thread by thread, against the ground weave — there is no jacquard and no punch card. Two master weavers sit at one wooden loom. UNESCO recognizes it as Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.
