Navalgund Durries

Jamkhanas (durries) in Kannada means floor covering mats which are usually used during marriages and functions. These durries from Navalagund near Dharwad, Karnataka are well known for their structure, bold colours and form that makes them unique as compared to other durries. This craft is believed to have originated during the time of Ali Adil Shah of Bijapur. In the sixteenth century during the tussle between Deccan Sultanate and Vijayanagar Empire in 1565 AD, Jamkhana weavers migrated from Bijapur to Navalgund and continued this craft.

Navalgund or Navelu in Kannada means peacock. These birds are found in abundance in this area and later got incorporated as a part of the pattern in the jamkhana.

Making Process
Dhurrie weaving is done on a vertical loom locally called Khadav Magga which means vertical or upright loom. Yarn is purchased in Hulkoti in Karnataka and is dyed nearby in Ron taluk of Gadag. Six cotton yarns are unwound and plied together to form a finger hanks or butterflies to be used as weft. Jamkhana looms are permanently installed in corners of houses

Some of the traditional names of the motifs used in the Durries in the local language are based on geometrical shapes:
Badi Ghari - Zigzag diamond shape with double edge. Nanhi Ghari - Zigzag diamond shape with single edge. Laheri - Geometrical pattern like a wave. Phul - Geometrical flower. Bel (bael) - Creeper pattern with zigzag edge. Chinda - Vertical stripes. Chunnat - Twill diamonds with extra weft. Mor (Navelu) – Peacock Dhara - Horizontal stripes. Pagadi Aata – Board of Traditional
