Chanderi is a town in Madhya Pradesh with an old tradition of weaving going back to the 7th century and well-documented from the 13th century onwards.
The weavers of Tana Bana Self Help Group accepted the challenge of reviving the tradition by weaving a continuous blessing along the upper and lower borders of a sari.
The words "sada sowbhagyavati" were woven along the upper and lower borders. The addition of sada sowbhagyavati in calligraphy style of script in Devanagari, amidst motifs of jasmine flowers, was assisted by Mumbai artist and calligrapher Santosh Kshirsagar.
