Syaahi Mangalagiri Silk Dupatta Snowy Black & White

What does the procession show?

A cream procession of figures carrying parasols moves across the black ground. The parasols give it a festive, ceremonial feel, as if a celebration is passing along the length of the dupatta.

What is the floral band beside it?

A cream floral band runs alongside the procession, edged by brown side borders. It softens the black and gives the painting a clear frame, so the figures stand out even when the dupatta is folded.

Where does it fit best?

At the office first: the black and cream palette is neat and easy with plain workwear. It also suits summer travel, festive gatherings and relaxed kitty parties or weekend brunches.

What size is it?

It measures 2 to 2.25 metres long and 35 to 36 inches wide, a comfortable standard size for draping over both shoulders, pinning on one side or wearing as a loose wrap.

How does it drape?

Mangalagiri silk has a rich texture and a subtle sheen. Drape it so the floral band runs along the outer edge and the procession falls across the front, letting the parasols and figures show clearly.

How should I wash it?

Gentle hand wash in cool water with a mild detergent, washed on its own. Don't wring it or scrub the painted procession. Dry it in the shade to keep the contrast sharp.
