Khayal (Moodboard): Note from the Founder"Daughters are like the Sonchiraiya of a home. Isn’t that true?! The Golden Bird that keeps twittering at every nook and corner since childhood. Whose presence lights up the face; and who one day, becomes the elusive Golden Bird - Sonchiraiya. One that is the most beautiful and prized and yet rare to be seen. This is what a daughter and her marriage means. I designed the Sonchiraiya saree for our niece’s wedding keeping this thought in mind.Having gone through this phase too, I wanted to dedicate one saree to the daughter of the house.The mood board comes from our design range - Birds of Paradise - launched on IG this March/April that features many birds of Nawabgunj Bird Sanctuary.While the posse of those birds is huge, I just plucked out the Gauraiya or Sparrow from the the bouquet, as that is what daughters are, to my mind, sweet sparrows blooming in the home, who later metamorphose into the Golden Bird or Sonchiraiya.The grand saree is designed with dense Resham Chikankari, with Sonchiraiya sitting in Zardozi craft, in a twittering and prancing pattern (how daughters are and sparrows are). The saree is detailed with Kasab Taar on the borders and is finished with the finest Zardozi elements of micro sequins and rainbow beads, that are of the most premium kind.The grand saree is hand dyed in Damask Rose shade, to match the blush of a daughter’s face as she becomes a bride."
Vidhi Rastogi, Founder, Meiraas.
Poshaak (about the saree):Â
This is a saree fit for a Vault Collective.
Palla and Body till 2.5 metres : The Pure Georgette Silk saree has almost 2.5 metres of heavy Chikankari work done in Resham with masterclass shadow work. The embroidery is done with Golden Cream shade on Pink base, and creates illusion of a different colour as the thread colour lends its own shade to the Pink shade.
Gauraiya motif is interspersed in between the geometric shadow design to show a bird flying in and out. These are hand embroidered in very fine Zardozi craft, with Qasab Taar Aari outline for each bird. Each bird has Chikankari stitches, along with very fine Zardozi embroidery with micro sequins and rainbow glass beads. These beads though very tiny to the naked eye, catch and reflect colour beautifully, while leaving the onlooker bewildered as to where the glow is emanating from.
Each Golden Bird stands out richly on the palla and body, till 2.5 metres
Body : The saree has very beautiful antique borders of Chikankari, where at places a Qasab Taar (zari coated filament) has been intertwined with Resham Taar to do embroidery and at places they have been embroidered separately on same motif in a definite pattern. This is to give rich attention to detailing in every nook and corner of the saree.
Rest of the body has floral bootis scattered all over.
Micro Sequins are tucked in all over the saree, that give the saree a subtle, graceful glow.
This saree is a Rare, Conceptual piece of Art, and meant for Collectors of the Craft.
Blouse: Pure Crepe Blouse with micro sequins embroidered all over
This saree does not need very heavy jewellery, as it is a jewel in itself. Just some well chosen diamonds will complete the look.

FROM THE VAULT COLLECTIVE
Mihikavan is Heirloom Chikankari 2 Taar Pure Georgette Saree in Almond Beige hue with full jaal floral embroidery. The Palla has breathtaking latticework stitch in rare & old Paisley motif. A rare Heirloom Piece!!
KHAYAL (moodboard):
Kamadeva (God of Desire) and Basant (Spring) decide to break the tapa of Kaamajeyi Mahadev, and get him attracted to the beauty of Parvati ji. To set this scene of romance, they paint a rugged forest, where the tapa is going on, into a place of beautiful desire, an enchanted forest garden. In an instant, Basant transforms the rugged terrain into a Floral Paradise; his painting is so beautiful that all beings are turned on to create a valley of love, the culmination of this beauty happens when a dormant tree trunk starts sprouting flowers, & a Latika or Creeper of Flowers engulfs the trunk with her grip of love!! Kalidasa ji paints so beautifully with words, almost as beautifully as our artisans create art with needle and thread. Mihikavan means Mihika (dewdrops) of Vana (Forest garden). When I see the art on this saree, I think of the first rays of sun touching the Mihika and the whole enchanted forest garden of Kumaarsambhav penned by Kalidasa ji come alive. We hope you enjoy this Khayal - Vidhi Rastogi, Head of Creative, Meiraas

Khayal (Moodboard):Â
The month of Chaitra (roughly March mid to April mid), is one with Pink summers setting in, where the air is still free of the upcoming scorching heat, and the coolness of the winter months gone by, make the mornings and evenings very pleasant. It is a month, where the Earth, especially in Northern plains of India, springs the most beautiful blossoms all around. The most prominent amongst them are tall Kaner bushes, with stunning Pink blossoms all over them, weighing the delicate boughs down in their sweet ambrosia. These Kaner flowers are also known as Chaitra Gulaab, as their appearance is similar to roses, and colour is a stunning Pink. When reflected against a cornflower blue sky, and with other blossoms filling up all garden spaces, they make a meadow in any city, town or village.
In Lucknow, they are a common sight, and one that fills the heart with joy. Coupled with these are the tiny mangoes on tree boughs, that promise to soon grow into large vats of heavenly nectar. Together, they make Chaitra Upvan an oasis to cherish. This is the Khayal that defines this saree the best.

KHAYAAL (moodboard): This collection of sarees was originally designed, keeping in mind, the timeless glamour look of 1950s sarees of Mukaish. From Queens like Maharani Gayatri Devi, who wore much subtler version and colours of these, to legendary singers like Begum Akhtar who wore deeper & richer colours, albeit simple Mukaish, but done allover..to Bollywood heroines of that era who wore much heavier Mukaish (as most films were black & white and they wanted embroidery to show even in that camera), the timelessness of Mukaish embroidery in that era inspired these sarees. Even then, most of these sarees were made on Pure Georgette fabric to give a luxurious fall.
POSHAAK (about the saree):
This lovely deep wine coloured saree has Mukaish hand embroidery all over. The palla has the Meiraas Exclusive motif of Kabootarbaazi (Flight of the Pigeons), in a flight pattern on the palla.

The subtle & classy appeal of this saree enables it to worn to cocktail events in weddings as well as jazz evenings or formal dinner dates, by simple change of accessories.
