Madhubani Silkmark Gicha Tussar Silk Black Saree

How is the pallu designed?

It is built around a large diamond: concentric diamond frames filled with painted Madhubani figures, birds and geometric bands, worked in rust, ochre, blue and cream. The layout is symmetrical and bold, so the pallu reads clearly from across a room.

What is Ghicha Tussar?

Ghicha is handwoven silk made from yarn spun from broken or leftover Tussar fibres. That gives it a rich, slightly uneven texture with visible slubs, and a natural, matte sheen that suits hand painting well because the colour sinks into the weave.

Which occasions does it suit?

An office party is its strongest fit, where the black base and Madhubani painting look confident without trying too hard. It also suits the office when you keep the jewellery simple, festive gatherings, and an evening dinner. The black base makes it easy to move from work to evening plans.

What does Silkmark tell me?

Silkmark is a label under the Silk Mark Organisation of India that confirms the fabric is genuine natural silk. For a hand-painted saree at this price, it is your assurance that the artwork sits on real Tussar silk, not a synthetic look-alike.

How long is the saree?

About 6.3 to 6.4 metres, including the blouse piece, which comes attached in the pallu colour. It is unstitched, so your tailor can cut it off and make it to your fit, with enough fabric for most blouse styles.

Will the painting stay bright?

With proper care, yes. Dry clean only, keep it away from direct sun, and store it in a separate bag with the folds changed regularly. Avoid rough handling over the painted areas, and the colours will hold up well over time.
