What are the different types of jacquard weave fabric used in Indian ethnic wear?

Jacquard describes any fabric woven on a Jacquard loom — which allows individual control of warp threads to create complex woven patterns. Several distinct fabric types use jacquard weaving:

Jacquard Fabric TypeBase FibreCommon Indian UsePrice Range
BrocadeSilk / polyester / mixedBanarasi sarees, sherwani fabric, lehenga panels₹200–₹2,000/meter
DamaskSilk / polyesterSaree fabric, formal suit material₹150–₹800/meter
Jacquard cottonCottonStructured kurtis, premium shirts₹120–₹300/meter
Jacquard georgettePolyesterSelf-woven pattern sarees and suits₹100–₹250/meter
Tapestry / woven pictureVariousHome furnishing, some decorative garments₹300–₹1,200/meter

The key distinction: in brocade, extra (supplementary) threads are added to create the pattern. In damask, the pattern is created entirely by the interplay of warp and weft — no extra threads, so both sides show the pattern (one glossy, one dull).
