Story
“My heart goes shalala lala, shalala in the…” He pauses to look at her. It was hard for her bright eyes to hide that flushed face. It kept peeking to meet his playful gaze.
In which world is love a weary word?
Saree-draping was nearly a ritual. She had one as a child— it was practised in front of the mirror, loaning aai’s nauvari, bindi and belpan tik.
In high-school, the ritual occasionally showed up before events and functions. She remembers feeling distant from the process.
But as a grown woman, she cherishes these fleeting moments. It could have been easy to lose them amid to-do lists and sundry chores. But she held on… with a little help from her friend. He has admired her through the ritual on good and bad days. And even after a decade of togetherness, they find love in routine.
Revisit love in its truest form with our lively pink saree made of Kota cotton, featuring hand-embroidered Chikankari work.
Description
Kota cotton fabric is renowned for its softness, light weight and ease of wear. It is made using an open weave with fine checks, which are called ‘khats’. This weave ensures that the resultant fabric is airy and comfortable. This Kota cotton fabric forms the base of these sarees, which are further embellished with Lucknowi chikankari work. Chikankari is a style of embroidery that has its roots in Lucknow, the capital of Uttar Pradesh. The word 'chikan' is derived from the Persian word 'chikeen'. In its most traditional form, chikankari work reflects the influence of the intricate carving patterns found in Mughal architecture. The legacy of chikan work in Lucknow dates back to more than 200 years.
