The glory of Chanderi Silk date back to Dwapar Yug when Shisupal, the Chedi prince ruled over there. The royal patronage over the use of silk became so prominent even at thousands of years back. Rukmini, the princess of Vidharva came to Swyambar for the Chedi prince but it was the love at first sight for Lord Krishna who eloped along with him. The beauty of Princess sparkled through her transparency silk veil. All the spectators kept silent to had a glance at the beauty of the bride. It was Krishna who knew that she was only for him no other being taken from his authority.
Again the time passed to renovate the culture of weaving of silk drapes at Chanderi. Because of the geographical situation, Chanderi had a lot of importance due to trade communication between Gujrat and the provinces of South. The Weaving culture emerged at its peak at 2nd and 7th centuries. Due to the long tradition of Bundelkhand, the weaving sections created a great achievement even at the time of Mughals. The fine quality and the light weight of the Chanderi silk made its place as a very distinct part of Mughals. The elaborate use of Chanderi silk proved from various scripts of chronicles. The princess usually draped the silk for its elegant looks and opulent beauty. It was said that in 1350, Koshti community from Jhansi provinces migrated to Chanderi to weave the silk clothes for Mughals.
The romance for silk was an integrated part of Royal power. They experimented with various traditional designs. The floral art, peacocks and geometrical designs were woven into Chanderi designs. The weavers used finest gold and silver brocade, fine silk and opulent embroidery.
The focus on Chanderi again falls back by the Bollywood also. Prominent Bollywood actor came to Chanderi to focus on the wide publicity of Chanderi silk and to give support for the weaving sections of that area. Kamlesh. who is the finest weaver of Pranpur where he weaves a wide range of finest Chanderi clothes from his looms. Thousands of such weavers are now staying at Pranpur near Chanderi where they are basically depending on the weaving of cotton and silk clothes. Their skills and the hard work are the basic backbones for the progress of Chanderi silk. Even at each lane and bylanes of Chanderi suburban city almost everywhere the weavers are weaving to fulfill the demand of the public.

Even at the time of Commonwealth games, Chanderi silk got the final selection for draping at the events. National Animals monologue designed on the stole and every player adorned it very proudly. Now, the fashion fraternity is giving many experiments to produce traditional looks for the modern outfit. Chanderi Silk is the rich traditional outfit by which we all are very proud to be a nationality of this country.
