Hand painted sarees in gurgaon,Silk sarees in gurgaon

I have always been wanting to work for any non-profit group that aims that
improving the lives of the ordinary. I wanted to work for organisations that
would work closely at the grass root level to uphold the cultural integrity and
diversity of our country. An organisation which is working to preserve the age-old
traditions and techniques deployed in the work of artistry and craftsmanship.
Our country has always been a rich soil culminating in the intricacies of culture
and craftsmanship. Owing to a large history of foreign invasions and reigns, our
society has perfectly amalgamated the aspects of their traditions and arts as
well. Be it the architecture, paintings, singing or dancing, we observe a wide
diversity in it.  I was always fascinated by all these facts and other things that
my history teacher would tell me. She would then also tell us the plight of
traditional crafts and art workman in the wake of modern machines and
computing. How the large assembly lines and automated work has taken their
livelihood away.

I would often dispute it with the fact that it has actually saved us a lot of time
and money and also the rates are comparatively cheap. But I have also heard
my grandmother say that today’s clothes and art piece are nowhere close to the
traditional handcrafted works of her time. I would often say that she is too old to
accept the fact but then I would feel the same as myself too sometimes.

So this summer, I decided to work for one such organisation that is into
preserving the ancient art forms and local traditions. In the beginning, I have
had doubts of my own whether it would actually be working in the field or would
it be the desk job. But thanks god, it was a combination of both. We were
required to identify the old centres of traditional arts and crafts and prepare a
report on what is the reality at ground zero. What are the financial statuses of
the craftsman and his family, how well does the market buy their art pieces and
finally how can we actually help them? It was actually very good and even oddly
satisfying. Everyone had to pick a stream and I took the apparels. I had to find
the ways to preserve the traditional art with the help of the apparel industry.

I started my research by exploring the internet for hours and hours to find that
ray of hope and motivation that could guide my way. But everything was just
futile. I wasn’t finding anything that could give me an idea of what can be done
in the apparel industry to save these art forms and traditional techniques. Then
one day I saw my neighbour wearing a very beautiful hand printed saree. I was
astonished as there is hardly anyone who wears traditionally
hand printed sarees in Gurgaon anymore. So I rushed to her immediately and
asked her all about it. She simply gave me the address of a website and asked
to visit it to quench all my curiosity. I immediately searched www.bandinisarees.com
on my laptop and there was my inspiration. They had these beautiful sarees in
traditional prints that could mesmerize anyone. So I thought that we hardly see
silk sarees in Gurgaon anymore, why not combine it with traditional prints to
create the needed buzz.

I worked really hard on my idea and drew out the outline of all the possible arts
and techniques that we could use on it. I presented my idea to the executive
team and they just loved it. I was highly appreciated and applauded. On my way
back home I ordered a beautiful hand printed saree for my mother from
Bandini Sarees as it would not have been possible without them.
