Jamdani (Bengali: জামদানি) is a fine muslin textile of Bengal, produced for centuries in South
Rupshi of Narayanganj district in Bangladesh. The historic production of jamdani was
patronized by imperial warrants of the Mughal emperors. Under British colonialism, the
Bengali jamdani and muslin industries rapidly declined due to colonial import policies
favoring industrially manufactured textiles. In more recent years, the production of jamdani
has witnessed a revival in Bangladesh. Jamdani is typically woven using a mixture of cotton and gold thread.
