Pure Lambani

A pure Lambani saree is a handcrafted, tribal textile masterpiece made by the Lambani (also called Banjara) community—traditionally nomadic tribes known for their vibrant, intricate, and labor-intensive embroidery work. These sarees are not just garments but expressions of folk art, identity, and heritage, often taking days or weeks to complete.

🧵 What is a Pure Lambani Saree?

A pure Lambani saree is typically:

• Made from cotton or handloom khadi base fabric (sometimes silk or blended fabric in modern versions).

• Decorated with hand embroidery, mirror work, cowrie shells, beads, coins, and colorful threadwork.

• Characterized by bold, geometric patterns, contrasting color blocks, and ethnic tribal motifs.

Each piece is 100% hand-embroidered, making it one-of-a-kind and extremely detailed.
