"Sourav" Saris

Even if Sourav Ganguly tries his best to stay away from limelight, there are people waiting to bring some focus on him - this time, its the "Sourav" crazy Bengali handloom weavers.

Handloom weavers? Yes. Guess what they have planned - "Sourav Ganguly Saris". The man who has made a fairy tale comeback into the national cricket team and is rearing to go on the 22 yards in the Carribbean, will make an appearance in the 6 yard and 9 yard saris back home.

Its a known fact that his fans in Bengal are die hard and will do anything right from burning effigies on the street to preparing a "green" wicket in Eden Gardens, but this one is out of the box. It will be interesting to see the response of people. குடும்பத்துல குழப்பம் வராம இருந்தா சரி :-)

Sourav is supposedly featured in the "Tangail Tanter" saris and the weavers seem to have put in a great amount of painstaking effort to weave the piece. More details here.
