Unmistakable Kalamkari beauty! This is an exquisite pure banarasi silk sari, adorned with a handpainted floral pattern meticulously completed with an effortless charm of our artisan's deft hand. Time-honored floral motifs in distinctive multi-hued colors will be an irreplaceable piece.
The most unique feature of a kalamkari sari is that no two saris can be the same and the tone and brightness of these final organic colors depend on climatic conditions.
Color: A fabulous shade of Beige
Fabric: Pure Benarasi Silk
Craft: An art of hand painting style involving about 23 steps. Kalamkari is made by using natural dyes from plants and vegetables and then boiled in milk for proper fixation of color due to which the fabric has a distinct milk smell. This is a laborious process that includes repeated washing and boiling with milk, to fix color each time the fabric is painted with a new color. The most important thing about washing kalamkari fabric during manufacturing is that the fabric must be washed in a flowing water source like a river as in the case of Srikalahasti the city is based on the bank of the river Swarnmukhi.
Composition: Pure Katan Silk in warp and Pure Katan Silk in weft
Sari Length: 5.5 Meters Blouse: separate, unstitched blouse
