This is a stunning piece of textile art. You’ve correctly identified it as a Gorod (or Garad) Silk Saree, a hallmark of Bengali heritage. This particular saree is a beautiful fusion of two distinct traditions: the pristine simplicity of Gorod and the intricate narrative style of Baluchari/Bishnupuri weaving.

Fabric and Color Palette

  • The Base: The saree features the characteristic off-white/cream base of pure Gorod silk. "Gorod" literally means "white," referring to silk that hasn't been dyed, maintaining its natural purity.

  • The Contrast: The vibrant red (laal) borders and motifs create the classic "Gorod-Laal Paar" look, which is traditionally considered auspicious and is a staple for religious ceremonies like Durga Puja or weddings.

The Motifs: Bankura/Bishnupuri Influence

While traditional Gorods often have simple geometric borders, this piece is unique because it incorporates Mina Baluchari style weaving.

  • The Terracotta Horse: The most striking feature is the central motif of the Bankura Horse. This is a world-famous symbol of Bishnupur’s terracotta art.

  • Narrative Borders: The repetitive horse motifs along the borders and the pallu (decorative end) mimic the friezes found on ancient Malla dynasty temples.

  • Weaving Technique: These aren't printed; they are meticulously woven into the fabric. The "Mina" work refers to the use of additional colored threads to give the motifs a slightly raised, detailed appearance.

Cultural Significance

  • Purity: Gorod silk is produced without the use of chemical dyes in the main body, making it the preferred "sacred" attire for rituals.

  • Symbolism: The horse motifs represent strength and the rich architectural history of West Bengal, specifically the Bankura district.

This saree is a perfect example of how traditional craftsmanship evolves by blending the "purity" of Gorod with the "storytelling" of Bishnupuri silk.
