Madhubani Silkmark Gicha Tussar Silk Lush Green Saree

What makes the pallu stand out?

The pallu is densely painted around a large oval central motif, framed by rows of folk-art motifs. Cream, red, navy and orange tones contrast richly with the deep green body, which carries small red butis, and a painted folk-art band runs along the edges and hem.

How does the green look in person?

It is a deep, rich green with the slubbed texture of ghicha tussar. It reads earthy and festive rather than bright, and it pairs well with gold jewellery and warm-toned blouses in maroon, rust or mustard.

What is Madhubani painting?

A traditional art from the Mithila region of Bihar, known for bold outlines, vibrant colours and intricate detail. Its motifs come from mythology, nature and everyday life, and it has traditionally been painted by hand.

What blouse would suit it?

A maroon or mustard blouse draws out the warm colours in the painting, while black gives a sleek look. The attached blouse piece is in the pallu colour and comes unstitched for your tailor.

How do I care for it?

Dry clean only. Store it in a separate bag in a dry place, change the folds regularly so the painted pallu doesn't crease in one spot, and air it occasionally in the shade.
