Mashru Trays

Mashru Trays 
These are  long rectangular trays have been set with PATAN's famous Mashru fabric on its base in a vibrant royal green,a regal and rich red, a riot of colours woven in thin stripes. The handwoven textile has been set in a stained mango wood frame with a glass cover. Mashru is a unique fabric with an interesting history. Mashru is a Persian word which translates to 'permitted'. Mashru refers to a mixed fabric that was woven with a silk warp and cotton weft textile and was used by Muslim men who were prohibited by a rule to wear pure silk fabric. The satin weave on the surface of the fabric gives it a luminous and rich appearance. Mashru continues to be known as known as a luxurious silk in parts of Central Asia and Africa.

History Of Mashru                    Mashru fabric is special made for Islamic people. The Mashru fabric was introduced by Mughal Empire in the 16 th century. The aim of development of Mashru fabric was, because in their religion they could not wear silk so they had to decide to made it. Mahrsu fabric upper part is silk and bottom part is cotton. So do to this the cotton is touched to body and silk is not touched to body. You can wear Mashru material in any season. During winter season silk protected you by cold and in summer season cotton is useful for sweat. In Arab and Iraq country people are wearing Mashru fabric more. Mahsru is more famous for its signing. This mahsru is only weaving in Gujarat Patan and two community people work together for making this Mahsru, the two communities are Khatri and Muslim.  KATARIA Mashru
