“Ye zulf agar khul kar bikhar jaaye to accha
Iss raat ki taqdir sanvar jaaye to acchha
Jis tarah se thodi si tere sath kati hai
Baaki bhi uss tarah guzar jaaye to accha”

Those deep-set kohled eyes were mesmerizing even after the sun went down, in the dim evening light. That’s probably because she was wearing the finest of them all, a kohl black Maheshwari saree with accents of orange and rani pink.
Wherever she needed a recipe for feeling like herself, unapologetic and lovely, this saree came out of the closet.
The power of carrying such a stunning colour with a hint of smile and her magnetism, always made her feel like a force to reckon with, but not without the tenderness that she carried on her sleeves. Humming her favourite Sahir Ludhianvi ghazal in this saree as the sun went down, she felt content.

Look stunning in this soft, luscious and classic black Maheshwari complemented by gold, rani pink and saffron shades.

While every effort is made to present the sarees in their natural colours, subtle variations between images and actual colours may be the result of lighting conditions and digital photography, and the colour/screen settings of your digital devices.

Slight irregularities are inherent to the process of creating traditional handwoven fabric. Instead of taking away from the beauty of the saree, they enhance its uniqueness and charm. The irregularities attest to the fact that the saree is a genuine, handcrafted product.

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Originally made in pure silk, Maheshwari sarees were later woven in pure cotton as well as a mix of silk and cotton.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.
