The Kosataga Story
Wondering what is Kosataga? Let’s break it down for you.
Kosataga is derived from India’s rich history of handloom and its origins can be traced back to the Vedas.
The word Kosa finds its roots in the word Kausheya, a Sanskrit word that translates to Silk, whereas Taga means thread, the very foundation of fabrics and silhouettes, the most basic unit— from where it all starts.
According to Shatpatha Brahmana, women of the house wore “kaushawasa” (silk clothes) during celebrations and rituals of immense importance. Even the Vayu Purana categorises Kuasheya as a special fabric, one that is most suitable for gifts and donations.
In the famous epic Mahabharata, one can find references which establish that kausheya is actually a changed form of the word kosha which means cocoon.
And this is where the production process of Banarasi Silk silhouettes and fabrics begins at Kosataga— from the cocoon. The rearing of silkworms is done on green leaves and their breeding results in cocoons from where the rich silk fibers are obtained.
Why Kosataga?
When we say authentic Banarasi weaves, we really mean it.
At Kosataga, a handcrafted Banarasi Silhouette is not just a piece of clothing, it’s an emotion. An emotion that carries with itself the vibrancy of Banaras, the purity of river Ganga, the elegance of ghats, the royalness of its temples, and the magnificence of the pious Ganga aarti.
Each and every fabric is carefully handcrafted and brings with it the cultural heritage of the indigenous artisans of Banaras. The craftsmanship of our artisans embodies generations of expertise and their art truly depicts the folklore of this city by the ghats.
Our silhouettes are not just yards of fabric; they are a cultural capital that can be passed on for generations and their timeless elegance breaks the clutter of short-lived trends.
