A '''Dhakai''' is a type of [[sari]] (traditional cloth for women of [[South Asia]]) made with [[cotton]]. The name comes from the [[Dhaka]] city, capital of [[Bangladesh]], where this type of sari is usually made.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
The unique hand technique of weaving was called [[jamdani]] in the old days, while the weave was called Dhakai. The sensitive weavers and artisans of this art form took inspirations for their weave designs from the life around them, from simple things such as a broken comb to things in the nature such as flora and fauna and traditional Bengali designs known as [[Alpana]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://thedailystar.net/lifestyle/2009/04/04/centre.htm |title=Dhakais in danger |work=Lifestyle |publisher=The Daily Star |access-date=2012-06-28 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100516065245/http://www.thedailystar.net/lifestyle/2009/04/04/centre.htm |archive-date=2010-05-16 }}</ref><br />
