Patola sarees, known for their intricate double ikat weaving, are a remarkable blend of skill, patience, and design — often taking months to complete. Each saree is perfect for festive occasions, weddings, and moments that deserve to be cherished forever.
PATOLA is one kind of silk cloth. The word PATOLA comes from ‘patt’ (silk cloth). From AD 700 ‘patt’ is used to describe silk cloth.
Mr. K. K. Shashtri, one of the greatest pandits of Gujarat, gives his opinion that PATOLA is deformed from Sanskrit word ‘pattkalam’. Cloth imported from china in BD 4th is known as ‘chinpatt’ and ‘chinankush’.
Mahakavi kalidas used ‘patrorna’ and ‘chinankush’ words in his lyrics Malvikagnimitra and Shakuntal respectively. In Tamil and Malayalam language the word ‘patt’ is used for silk cloth. Upon a time ‘chinapatt’ is very popular in PATAN.
Salvi cast’s Patola were mention in 2000 years old Jain’s religious book ‘Kalpsutra’. Also it was described in Premanand’s ‘Kuvarbai’s Mameru’ in 17th century.
That’s, this Patola of Patan’s handicraft is 2000 years old.
