Taant
A tant saree is a traditional, hand-woven West Bengali and Bengali cotton sari known for its lightweight, soft, and breathable fabric, making it ideal for hot weather. Originating from the Mughal era, these sarees are characterized by their distinct borders and pallus featuring intricate, cultural motifs like florals, geometric patterns, and nature-inspired designs. The name "Tant" comes from the Sanskrit word "tantu," meaning "thread," reflecting the pure cotton threads used in its making.
