A sneak peek into the past
This soft cloth was not manufactured in abundance during the early days and was exclusively available to Indian royalty. Over time it has gained popularity and is now available in almost all parts of the world. Mulmul or Muslin, as known in European countries, was first crafted by Bengali weavers in the Indian subcontinent many hundred years ago. Its origination goes to Dhaka then known as Dhakeshwari located in Bangladesh, which was a part of India before independence. The fabric was referred to as Daka then, was scarcely found and fabricated only for Royal Families of Bengal.
Unknowingly we have been using mulmul in different forms in our daily lives:
A cloth to wrap the new-borns- A soft dupatta and stoles
