The word ‘jamdani’ is believed to be of Persian origin, derived from 'Jam' (meaning flower) and 'Dani' (meaning vase). Over the last few decades, the art of jamdani weaving has witnessed a revival due to support from the governments and non-government organizations in both India and Bangladesh. Jamdani was originally known as Dhakai named after the city of Dhaka.

This magenta pink and white half -half jamdani with Zari flowers is quite the showstopper. This kind of jamdani saree is called "Phagun Bou Jamdani" The saree is most suitable for informal day or night time events. And will look rather chic but in a playful way when styled with white beaded/Pearl jewelry. Best draped tightly.
