The moon’s golden glow was the only bright spot in the deep blue darkness. She stared at it intently and then asked, “What about our secret?” The stoic moon said nothing; it just kept shining. She suddenly shivered, as if something invisible had touched her. “Your secret is safe inside your soul,” the blue night whispered. “As for the moon, I will hide the secret in its dark side, never to be discovered.” She felt warm as she looked at the moon again. Did it just wink at her?

This mystical Egyptian blue saree with gold zari border will whisper many secrets in your ear. Wear it and see for yourself.

Heritage and Origin

Maheshwari sarees are created by artisans in Maheshwar, a handloom cluster in Madhya Pradesh. The techniques used to weave these cotton-silk sarees have been passed down by weavers since the 5th century. According to folklore, the sarees were commissioned on the request of Queen Ahilyabai Holkar as gifts to visiting dignitaries and family. The sarees draw inspiration from the grandeur and intricate details of Madhya Pradesh’s forts, particularly Fort Maheshwar, and manifest in various patterns such as chattai (mat), chameli ke phool (jasmine flower), eent (brick) and heera (diamond) which are popular even today.

Originally made in pure silk, Maheshwari sarees were later woven in pure cotton as well as a mix of silk and cotton. Darker shades gave way to lighter hues. A unique feature about these sarees is the bugdi (reversible border), which allows them to be worn both ways. Based on their design, Maheshwari sarees are known by distinct names: Chandrakala, Baingani Chandrakala, Chandratara, Beli and Parbi. The first two have plain designs, while the other two feature checks or stripes in their designs.

Everything was ready except for the charanamrit, the offering to the gods. She went to her balcony garden to collect basil leaves for the sweet concoction. The tulsi leaves had a deep, verdant colour after the rain, the green contrasting beautifully with the dark colour of the planter. She reached out to touch the leaves, her fingers becoming moist with the raindrops. What a calming sensation it was.

This basil green saree with brocade border will evoke images of lush greenery and the goodness of nature. The woven stripes pallu and brocade border add a unique charm to this vibrant saree.

She looked intently at the shakha pola, the traditional white and red bangles made of conch shell and coral, which her mother had just given her. Her big day had arrived, and in a few hours, she would be a married woman. She was nostalgic and happy at the same time as she reminisced about her past and looked forward to a new life ahead.

Heritage and Origin

Jamdani combines the words jam (flower) and dani (vase or container). It is acknowledged as one of the world’s most advanced hand-weaving techniques characterized by rich, intricate motifs. The process is extremely time-consuming and laborious: some sarees may take nearly a year to weave. In 2013, UNESCO declared Jamdani weaving an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. Select expert weavers are recognized as bearers of the traditional Jamdani motifs and weaving techniques who pass down their skills to the next generation.

The base of Jamdani sarees originally comprised sheer, light muslin considered so fine that six yards of fabric could pass through a ring. A superior variety of cotton, native to a certain stretch of the Brahmaputra river, was used to create the muslin. While traditional Jamdani originated in Dhaka, the capital of present-day Bangladesh, the tradition is now carried forward in West Bengal. The fabric gained prominence during the Mughal rule in India. Although Jamdani weaving incorporates mostly geometrically-shaped floral motifs, other elements of nature also find representation.

The gaye holud (haldi ceremony) was about to start. She was looking resplendent dressed in bright pink, the colour reflecting in a rosy glow on her face. Her mother approached her with tears in her eyes, ready to apply the first smearing of turmeric. Her brothers, sisters and friends followed soon after, liberally covering her face and arms with the rich paste. The contrast between pink and turmeric yellow was a sight to behold.

This yellow and pink Jamdani saree is a breathtaking work of art which will captivate anyone who sees you wearing it. Its vivid colours will remind you of the joy of celebrations and festivities.

Heritage and Origin

Steeped in history and an ancient culture which is believed to date back to the Vedic period, Chanderi, a small town in Madhya Pradesh, is surrounded by lush hills, forests and lakes. It is also home to one of the most famous handloom clusters in India, where weaving has been a part of the town’s socioeconomic character for centuries. The eponymous Chanderi fabric, which is made from a mix of silk, cotton and zari, is unique for its translucence and sheer texture. Traditionally, motifs were inspired by the town’s surrounding natural beauty and incorporated elements such as animals & birds, flowers, heavenly bodies and even gold coins (asharfis). Chanderi sarees are made using a technique called tana-bana, or the warp and weft method.

The production of Chanderi fabric (including the motifs) has evolved with time. Till about 50 years ago, all handwoven fabrics had soft, natural hues and muted tones. Since then, weavers have incorporated vibrant colours and vivid combinations in their looms. Katan silk is a type of fabric which is made by intertwining filaments of silk which gives it a firm and durable character. Katan originated in Persia and became popular in India during the Mughal reign.

The weaver started working at the loom, and the first silver flower started taking shape on the saree. And then, more and more such flowers blossomed, covering the entire saree with their rich, floral pattern. Like stars twinkling in the dark blue sky, the silver motifs lend a magical touch to the exquisite dark blue silk fabric.

Look radiant when you wear this blue and silver six-yard wonder. Marvel at the sheer, crisp Katan silk cotton fabric and the lustrous zari woven border. It is your time to shine!

Heritage and Origin

Ghicha (or Gheecha) silk yarns are primarily produced in Bihar, Jharkhand and Chattisgarh. The silk is a by-product obtained during the production of traditional Tussar or Eri silk. The production of Ghicha silk involves a manual and laborious process - the threads from the cocoons need to be pulled out delicately by hand (hence the name Ghicha or Gheecha) and reeled manually. Due to this process, the silk yarns are shorter in length. Although manual reeling gives Ghicha silk a coarse characteristic, the finish is smooth and lustrous. Ghicha silk yarn is also used as a blend in other silks such as Katia silk or pure cotton. Ghicha silk sarees often depict hand-painted tribal art or the region’s rich flora and fauna which are brought alive using vibrant, lively colours.

What is the colour ochre, you ask yourself? Is it another shade of yellow? Or does it hide something deeper within it which only a discernible eye can observe? Ochre is unusual and uncommon. It is an outlet for your individuality and creativity. A colour which is unique, just like your personality.

This ochre silk saree is meant for the woman who wants to make a statement, who has no inhibitions and who fills every space with energy.

Madhubani paintings, also known as Mithila paintings, trace their origin to the Mithila region in Bihar and Nepal. The art, which goes back 2,500 years to the time of the Ramayana, was displayed by women on the floor and walls of their houses during celebrations and festivals. The magic of these paintings has been transferred to fabric and other material using hand-held wooden blocks, thereby reviving interest in a lost art form and priceless heritage.
