RIP Pt Rajan Mishra - By HolyWeaves, Benares

RIP Pt Rajan Mishra

At HolyWeaves, we deeply mourn the demise of Padma Bhushan Pt Rajan Mishra Ji, of Rajan-Sajan duo. Pandit Ji was one of the foremost exponents of Khayal Gayaki, and the leading light of the Benares school of music. He left us for heavenly abode on 25th Apr, 2021, aged 70.

We had the privilege of receiving Pandit Ji's blessings whenever he visited Benares, his home.

As a tribute, we have put together an Apple Music playlist of some of our favourite bhajans and bandishes for those who dont already follow their work. The playlist is only a preview from their huge body of work that spans over four decades. We  hope this will get you initiated and wanting to explore more of their incredible work, easily available on various mediums. The romance, the emotions, the ras, that can be felt in their work is nonpareil.

We offer our sincere condolences to his most loving younger brother Pandit Sajan Mishra Ji (they always performed together), and his family.

We will miss him dearly. Benares will miss him dearly. Music will miss him dearly.

Om Shanti.

(Fans of Pandit Ji can post their tributes in the comments section below and we will share it with his family.)

Reviving Indian Handlooms

FOOD FOR THOUGHT

We are spending millions to bring the Cheetah back to India.

If Handloom dies in India,

where do we bring it back from?

Buy Handloom. Wear it with pride. Thats all it takes to keep our heritage alive.

Excellent Experience

I am very happy to order saree’s and duppata from HolyWeaves . Unique and beautiful piece. This is my third saree from HolyWeaves. Excellent delivery service.I am getting a best quality.

Quality & Service

I found out about HolyWeaves through my mom and I'm obsessed with the whole experience. The saris and dupattas are absolutely stunning, priced competitively, and arrive internationally in just DAYS looking exactly as pictured online. We're buying many of our saris for my upcoming wedding celebrations from here, and I'm very excited!

Unique & Lovely Designs

I chanced upon Holy Weaves, and i am so glad for this happy accident. I received a gorgeous saree that was exactly as per the pictures. It was elegant, well-crafted, and great quality. The design of the sarees at HolyWeaves are also quite unique and different from those on other websites. Besides, the costing is better than other sites. I look forward to picking up more sarees from Holy Weaves in future.

Excellent Quality and Service

The Banarasi saree I ordered turned out exactly as shown. The silk/material is of good quality. I asked for tassels and they were incorporated beautifully into the pallu. The order was shipped promptly and the packing was excellent.

Will definitely order again.

Handloom Blues-Kramshah (क्रमशः) - By HolyWeaves, Benares

Handloom Blues-Kramshah (क्रमशः)

Kramshah is a humorous banter with one of our weavers, and captures the carefree-ness and modesty of handloom weaving. I ask Jumman, one of our home-weavers, on the status of a saree he is weaving...
