Preservation of Jamdani Motifs and Designs - an endangered handloom of Bangladesh, 2016

“I am in awe of the intricate #jamdani patterns that a master weaver keeps in his or her memory, and I pay tribute to those who have dedicated themselves to passing on their knowledge to future generations so this rich tradition will not be lost.” – Ambassador Bernicat
In 2013, UNESCO recognized jamdani as an “intangible cultural heritage of humanity,” and recently jamdani was awarded the Geographical Indiction of Bangladesh, making jamdani exclusive cultural property of Bangladesh.
