What To Expect
The Jamdani Saree, worn by Bengali Ladies with pride for centuries, is traditional along with other famous sarees that demonstrate the pride of Bengal. It normally takes two persons to weave a one; sometimes it takes three months to weave a three-meter long saree. You will also have the chance to stay in a rural village and observe a different type of weaving called Tangail’s saree and enjoy the reality of rural Bangladesh among the local people.
