Syaahi Kalamkari Hand Painted Pure Silk Royal Blue Saree

What are the small figures scattered across the body?

Small painted figures are scattered across the royal blue body as butis. They are spaced out rather than crowded, so the blue shows through generously and the saree reads as patterned without being busy, while the pallu carries the main scene.

What does the pallu depict?

The pallu is a colourful painted scene with figures, worked mainly in orange and purple with touches of cream, green and yellow. The warm orange is a strong contrast to the blue body, so the pallu stands out clearly when draped.

How does pure silk feel and drape?

It is a soft, pure silk with a smooth texture and a gentle sheen, and it feels soft against the skin and drapes beautifully. At 6.4 to 6.5 metres long and 45 to 46 inches wide, there is room for neat pleats and an open pallu.

Will the painted colours run?

Not if you care for it as directed. The saree is dry clean only, so avoid soaking or hand washing it at home. Keep it in its own bag in a dry place, change the folds now and then, and dry it in the shade if it ever gets damp.

What blouse comes with it?

The blouse piece comes attached to the saree, and your tailor cuts it off before stitching. With a blue body and a wide red border, either a red blouse for contrast or a blue one for a clean, tall look works well.
