Tant

Bengal's everyday handloom — crisp, breathable cotton from Phulia and Shantipur, woven with a contrasting border and a light, weightless drape.

Tant is the workhorse of Bengali weaving — the saree of the everyday. Phulia and Shantipur, twin weaving towns in Nadia district, produce the bulk of it.
