Jis taraf tū hai udhar hoñgī sabhī kī nazreñ
eid ke chāñd kā dīdār bahāna hī sahī
AMJAD ISLAM AMJAD
Eid marks the culmination of Ramzan’s holy month, symbolising the devotion, perseverance, purity of mind, and hearts of millions.
It symbolizes joyous laughter, celebrating the devotion of devotees in the month of Ramzan, fragrances of delicacies filling the air, and elders blessing younger ones with gifts of eidi. The day signifies the shared sense of joy. On this very occasion, silk adds to the charm and elegance of the one that adorns itself with the sheen and exquisiteness of silk. The couplet by Amjad Amjad (stated above) fits aptly here. The charm lent by silk on the wearer holds to the saying, “Aaj toh chand zameen par utar aaya hai”.
Importance of Silk in Eid Celebration
Traditional silk dress is a necessary component of every festival, traditional celebration, and spiritual function.
Each thread of the silk fabric holds immense strength in itself, paying homage to the strength of the devotees’ character through the holy month of Ramzan. Ramzan, the holiest month in Islam, is characterized by kindness, sharing and abstinence among the devotees. A day during Ramzan begins with sehri and ends with breaking the fast, or iftar, in the evening. The month celebrates and pays homage to the day when Prophet Mohammad received revelations to lead the devotees. Fasting is among the 5 pillars of Islam, which symbolizes abstinence from the physical and mental chains of mankind.
Silk represents purity and is akin to India’s rich historical and cultural legacy. Silk has long been the staple fabric in Indian culture and homes for any occasion or ceremony because of its exquisite texture and unique sheen. Each color holds its place and cultural importance, resonating with the special occasion of Eid. Due to its costly availability and labour-intensive production method, silk cloth was originally exclusively worn by kings and nobles after it was introduced to India. Over time, the silk textiles were adorned with numerous handcrafted embroidery designs and priceless decorations, further elevating the piece’s exclusivity.
