Jamdani is a technique of discontinuous supplementary weft in which each motif is woven into the fabric by hand, using small spools or sticks of thread that the weaver passes through the warp only where the design requires.
The Banarasi saree is woven in and around Varanasi in Uttar Pradesh, one of the oldest brocade centres in India.
Baluchari is a figurative silk brocade from West Bengal.
Kanchipuram, the temple town about 75 km south-west of Chennai, is the best-known silk weaving centre in Tamil Nadu, and its sarees are widely regarded as the classic south Indian bridal silk.
