Deep red silk is patterned with patola ikat elephants and birds marching in neat rows, each shape formed by tie dyeing the yarn before weaving. The pallu opens onto a teal panel painted with large circular medallions of Krishna and gopis, rich in hand drawn kalamkari detail. A red and gold border seals the heirloom feel. A striking piece for weddings and festive occasions.

The craft
Kalamkari Kanchipuram
Kalamkari is a centuries old hand painting art from Andhra Pradesh, most famously from Srikalahasti, where every motif is drawn freehand with a bamboo pen called a kalam and set with natural dyes. Scenes from mythology, temples, peacocks and lotuses are painted onto silk over many patient days. A wearable work of art, treasured for festivals, weddings and special occasions.
