heritage. The Capital City of Bangladesh, Dhaka and one of the other
most famous place called Narayanganj in Central Bangladesh have served
as hubs for Jamdani handlooms for centuries. Large number of journals
has reference for the History of Jamdani Saree and
jamdani weaving. In the book Sril Silat-ut-Tawarikh, written in the 9th
century, the Arab geographer Solaiman talks about the fine fabrics
fabricated in the state called Rumy, or modern day Bangladesh. An
interesting article in “The News Today” references the famous Book of “Periplus of Ertitrean Sea”
(written as an navigation and trading story of the world), noting that
it documents the fine fabrics available in this area as far back as the
first decade before the birth of Christ. The golden age of Dhaka muslin,

and time demanding manufacturing operation, Jamdani fabric was
extremely expensive and thus a luxury afforded by only royals and
nobles.
