The Power of the Next Move!!
Taking inspiration from celebrated Indian author, Munshi Premchand's story, Shatranj Ke Khiladi, we created Bisaat. Celebrated Indian Filmmaker, Satyajit Ray, also made a classic adaptation of this story in 1977. Bisaat or the chessboard was the biggest conversation starter in Awadh; this past legacy has been recreated on this showstopper dupatta.
Painstaking research work was done to recreate these motif that you can read here FalaknumaPOSHAAK (about the garment): Red & Black motifs of Chess stand boldly against the butter white backdrop of the Dupatta - Power of Silence.
Stitches like Orma, Keel, Kangan, Ghaspatti, etc bring to life these evocative motifs that recall the past glory this Game of Chess in the homes of Lucknow aristocracy.
Best paired with Bisaat Power of Silence Chikankari Kurta

Hand Picked Ancient Archived Motifs.
Conceptual and Exclusive Chikankari Artwork on Zari Silk fabric.
Handloom Zari Silk fabric.
Museum quality Chikankari sarees that can be handed down generation to generation as a treasure.
KHAYAAL (Mood-board):
The Khayal or Aatmamanthan behind keeping this collection under the name Dhanlakshmi was very clear. We wanted to make a repository of Heirloom Sarees, where we can create colours and palettes that signify the opulence of Sri Lakshmi.
After our series of metallic sarees of Swarna Lakshmi (Gold), Rajat Lakshmi (Silver), Krishna Lakshmi (Black Gold), we are now introducing, TaamraLakshmi, signifying the 3rd most important metal in our culture, Copper. The celebration of metal names is deeply spiritual, in accordance to the deity they are ascribed to, i.e., Sri Lakshmi.
We wish the radiance of Sri Lakshmi, who visits deserving households during Deepawali, to bring them prosperity and wholesome progress.
TaamraLakshami is a stunning Red Gold Zari Silk Chikankari saree, with Red Resham embroidery, a piece de resistance, and one that creates new Heirlooms and Textile Traditions.
POSHAAK (About the garmemt):
The stunning TaamraLakshami, is embroidered with extremely delicate and prized stitches of Conceptual Chikankari Art work.
The palla features a combination of two antique miniature floral motifs. Along with that a delicate and detailed circular floral motif is placed along the length of the palla and has stunning embroidery of Zari Taar Jaali (extremely difficult to do on this fabric), murri, keel, ghaaspatti, phanda, zanjeera, rahet etc.
It is extremely difficult to work on full Zari Silk sarees, because of many reasons:
The saree reflects light back, making it impossible to work in full light, hence it needs perfect light setting in a room and extremely skilled artisans to make it.
Such fabric requires enormous dexterity and a very fine level of craftsmanship, therefore the number of artisans working on it are just 1-2 only. This means it takes more time than other sarees
Zari Taar Jaali work is extremely difficult to do on this saree; Cutting jaali by hand is a difficult and time consuming process as it is (this is why its artisans are reducing, as they demand better wages for the time and skill, which popular market is unwilling to pay). Cutting a jaali using Zari Taar filament is the toughest level, as the Zari Taar is not visible to the naked eye easily. In this case Zari Taar has been used to cut Jaali on full Zari Silk saree, making it the toughest level. This obviously commands time and best wages for the artisans involved.
Words will fall short in the praise of this exquisite beauty of a saree!! Some of these motifs are centuries old, and some freshly carved looking at centuries old motifs. A rare piece of Art.
The unique Red Gold colour of the saree with Red embroidery makes it stunning, regal and a timeless heirloom that you would like to pass on generation after generation.
The drape of this saree is breathtaking; rich and very form fitting and supple, making it ideal for all body types.
We will also provide a 1 metre running Chikankari embroidered Tussar Silk blouse piece in Red colour as part of the saree.
P.S: If you are noticing dark patches anywhere in the pictures, then that is the Zari reflecting the light back to the camera, and this is not present on the saree.
Avoid moisture seeping into such sarees. Always store them in a dry place and in the Meiraas bag we deliver them in. Keep opening Silk Sarees in every 6 months and changing its folds.
The saree is 41.5 inches in width, in case you want increase in the width of the saree, please drop us a mail at namaste@meiraas.com . We will add a coloured fabric seamlessly on the tucking in area to give you your desired width.

This is an extremely Fine & Rare 2-3 Taar Chikankari Lehenga Set with most exquisite hand cut work of Jaali & Hathkati stitch, all through. Please note such Chikankari Lehengas are very rare and difficult to come by, and take 4-5 months in production. Due to their rarity they are available as a single piece only.Â
The Lehenga is dyeable; for any colour customisations, please write to us at namaste@meiraas.comThe Sustainability Quotient (TSQ):
Very Fine Chikankari (Hand Embroidery Practised Since Ancient Age)
Extensive Hand Cut work (Jaali & Hathkati stitch)
Hand Picked Ancient Archived Motifs
Extremely Fine quality handwork, that is a rare find
Pure Georgette Silk fabric that increases the longevity of the garment & makes it timeless
Khayal (Moodboard): Lehenga has been part of the cultural milieu of our country, since the times of Ayodhya and Sri Ram, and Kathak dance; maybe the dress even predated that era and got a grander version with the first known Kathak performance for the beloved scion of Ayodhya, after his coronation. Since that time, Lehenga, which is essentially a wide flared skirt, has seen many avatars. It is worn in beautiful, bright cottons, with tie and dye craft in many cultures, to this date. Its dressier versions include Handcrafted premium embroidered or woven varieties in jewel tones or plush rich hues, meant to stun the onlookers with its elegance, class and grace. Wedding Lehengas soon started replacing the Wedding Sarees in many places, and today have become a signature look for the Brides in India.
The charm of a Lehenga skirt, Dupatta and Choli is so unbeatable, that it has its versions in almost all crafts of the country, the latest addition being Chikankari and Mukaish.
A Chikankari Lehenga is like an ethereal fantasy come true. Embroidered richly upon Pure Georgette Silk, it looks like a beautiful dream, a garden of senses if you will, lit up with thousands of fireflies (Mukaish), rendering the wearer look nothing short of an angelic vision.
Poshaak (about the dress): This is a 12 Kali (flare) Lehenga set with a heavily embroidered Dupatta, extensively cut with Jaali & Hathkati stitch, and a Blouse Fabric.
This Lehenga Set is named Jaali Mahal, due to its extensive & painstaking hand cutwork of Jaali and Hathkati, masterfully done over delicate & neat embroidery in extremely detailed motif work. This makes the Lehenga look like a historic monument artscape, where trellis pattern romances all the windows & skylights. The lehenga is made in 2-3 taar embroidery, and is exceptionally neat and fine. Each stitch will come alive as the wearer moves in it.
What differentiates an exceptionally fine lehenga from a regular variety is its attention to detail, even in its corners and borders; even the embroidery done on the length of the Kalis, adds to its overall finished look, which is crucial in any sustainable handcrafted garment.
This Lehenga set is semi stitched & can be stitched & finished (including dyeing) complimentary by us, in the classic manner only: Stitching of Blouse with lining, Skirt lined with high quality lining and hemline enhanced with buckram, Dupatta finished with pure silk selvedge & gota kinari available with us.
You can also purchase this semi stitched, as it is.
Please mention in the CheckOut Note if you will prefer the Lehenga stitched or semi stitched.
Styling Tip: Sky is the limit with a classic fine quality Chikankari Lehenga, keep it white or get it dyed, this is one attire you cannot go wrong with.

This Lehenga Set is named Sheeshmahal, due to its gorgeous lustre of Mukaish embroidered masterfully over delicate & neat embroidery in extremely detailed motif work. This makes the Lehenga look like a historic monument artscape, where when a candle is lit, thousands of mirrors come alive The lehenga is made in 2 taar embroidery, and is exceptionally neat and fine.

Mukaish must add to the charm, and not become a mainstay, overshadowing the Chikankari; both the crafts need to speak a symbiotic language for the whole ensemble to come alive.
