Dabu Printed Sarees, Cotton Sarees in Gurgaon

Bandini Sarees in Gurgaon, stocks Dabboo printed sarees. Make sure that you get some
Dabu for me, said my friend Padma or else you remain in my garage.. Perplexed, my
inner thoughts went in for a toss. It  grew stronger hour after hour. Dabu means money
in Telugu . Where is Dabu being printed? Do we have a mint close by???? And so on
and so forth ! I visualised currency notes and coins on the sarees? If so how would the
variety look ?Do they have the visual of the Euro too? Hmm , I murmured Dabbu, Dabbu
as I walked out little knowing that POPO our baby parrot  would love the word too. It
caught it in an instant. To those who are unfamiliar with Dabbu sarees of Rajasthan , the
state is the home of Dabu or daboo sarees.

 Pink, Mehndi Green, Mustard Yellow, Brown, Meroon are some of the colours that charm
whereas the middle aged could always  find the lighter sober tone. Dabbu Printed Sarees
are as soft as butter and can be seen in Indigo Blue. One is swept away by its appeal and
the patterns and designs have a strong similarity with nature and its elements. Colours
such as baby pink, olive green, earth brown Daboo cotton sarees attract some genres. At
Bandini Sarees in Gurgaon, there was no replication of the same pattern.  No duplicates
either in pattern or colour ; No seconds in textures too.

The typicality of Dabboo sarees are made from compositions of mud and earth and as top
ography shows the residents seem to have optimised Natural Resources or God Given
Capital. The hands that create the fabric are the hands that have immersed their hands in
a viscous paste made of mud, gum and lime . The Dabu printed Sarees in Gurgaon
breathe the  life of the residents of villages and carry a tale of art synchronised with the
life and breath of Akolas residents. Timeless creations keep pouring through endless
designs and thus give a testimony in the drapes. Come what may, Daboos always remain
a fascination for the craftsman and the curator. The Daboo Saree is loved and leased for
time eternal and as legend says , the  legion de honour is always attributed to Mother
Earth. Though time may bring Apple and Mango technologically, the earth makes sure
that the culture of its origin remains and art never becomes redundant.

From Dabboo this summer we move onto click and glance the new cotton sarees that
have newly arrived at Bandini Sarees . The Lucknow Chikkans were awesome and so
were the pretty Bandhej sarees.  Texting a whatsapp photograph, I put my fingers on
Bandhej Sarees. Even before I could go ahead the photograph went viral , perhaps faster
than lightning. My friend replied that she wanted a Sambalpuri which remains  a fine we
ave of techniques. Much before the saree is woven, the threads are dyed and always
retains its rich colour in as is where is condition. Today went faster than  Wondering at
the ever widening collections I  the new arrivals of Cottons Sarees in Gurgaon at
Bandini Sarees were the Mul Muls, the Dhakais, the Pashapalli, the Venkatagiris, the
Gadwals and the Bomkhais. The other sarees were the Sangamneri prints and the
Maheshwari prints.

Dabu prints remain the primeval printing method. The prints are now popularly known
as Akola Dabu prints. And like the  patterns , these fabrics are deeply embedded in the
cultural identities of various Rajasthani communities. The forms in which these fabrics
are worn are changing with time, organizations like Aavaran and COS-V are giving
new direction to this unique craft,  yet the soul of the craft is carried forward,
untampered, by the motifs and hues. Stories of the earth and dye, rest safely in hands
of the craftsmen.
