Tangail saree is a traditional handwoven saree of Bangladesh. It originated in the Tangail district of the country. A completely different kind of saree is produced in the Purba Bardhaman and Nadia districts of West Bengal. It is a simplified Jamdani textile which is a hybrid of Shantipuri saree with saree desighns and handloom techniques of Tangail. At one level, it is a gross simplification of the famed Jamdani technique. This is completely different from the Tangail sari of Bangladesh.
