Syaahi Bangalori Silk Jet Black Hand Painted Dupatta

What are the circles in the design?

Large round medallions filled with figures, stacked down the length of the dupatta, with more figures crowding the space between them. It is a busy, dense black-and-cream scene, framed by green-gold side borders and finished with tassels.

Can I wear it with a printed outfit?

It is best over solids. The medallions already fill the eye, so a plain kurta in ivory, red, mustard or emerald keeps the look balanced. A print alongside it will compete.

What do the tassels and borders add?

The green-gold side borders frame the crowded scene, and the tassels at the ends give it movement when you walk. Both add a finished touch and a little gleam to the matte silk.

Is it heavy, given the dense design?

No. Bangalori silk is smooth and lightweight with a fine texture, so despite the crowded scene it isn't heavy on the shoulder and drapes without feeling bulky. Its elegant drape lets the medallions fall open over a plain kurta.

How do I clean it?

A gentle handwash with a mild detergent, washed separately, with no soaking or scrubbing, then dried in the shade. Iron on the reverse so the painted medallions are never pressed directly.

Is a suit included?

No, it comes as one dupatta on its own. That makes it easy to rotate over the solid kurtas and suits you already have, changing the look each time you wear it with a different colour.
