JAMEVAR – KASHMIR GRANDEUR
When Zain ul Abdin, the ruler of Kashmir introduced the art of Jamevar in the 15th century by bringing weavers from Persia, it quickly became a symbol of sophistication and elegance. Banaras which was the zenith of textile heritage and innovation since the Vedic period, evolved this craft of the Jamevar on silk. Typically in a beautiful maze of paisleys, inspired by its Kashmiri and Persian legacy, in phekwa or jacquard the Banarasi Jamevar saree is sumptuous.
