This saree is Ready To Ship. Three Grand Heritage Embroideries come together, to create an artistic poetry on handwoven Mulberry Silk fabric! Swarna Mayur is for connoisseurs who are building their own legacy. THE SUSTAINABILITY QUOTIENT (TSQ):-

Resham Chikankari (Hand Embroidery Practised Since Ancient Age).
Aari hand embroidery outlining the motifs in Gold Qasab Taar.
Zardozi Hand Embroidery detailing of micro sequins, cutdana, pearls.
Hand Picked Ancient Archived Motifs.
Conceptual and Exclusive Chikankari, Aari & Zardozi hand embroidery - 3 embroideries of Awadh in one saree.
Handloom Mulberry 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. Swarna Mayur or the Golden Peacock saree is an ode to the regal splendour of our heritage, where peacocks are a ubiquitous motif of divinity & beauty. Pecocks perched & Peacock pair are few of the many motifs of Art that surround this royal iconography. Swarna Mayur has been crafted with this thought in mind. It is a piece de resistance, and one that creates new Heirlooms and Textile Traditions. POSHAAK (About the garment): Three Heritage hand embroideries of Awadh - Resham Chikankari, Qasab Taar Aari and Zardozi, come together on this poetry of a saree, Swarna Mayur. The handspun, handwoven Mulberry Silk saree, is embroidered with two unique Peacock motifs, i.e., Chaand Mayur (the perched Peacock) and Mayur Joda (the miniature Peacock pair). The saree has konia of perched peacock on the palla, while rest of the palla and body has peacock pair embroidered till 2.5 metres of the saree. The peacock pair also runs across one side of the border (pleats), interspersed with floral motifs of Chikankari, all through. Resham chikankari with soft almond & mocha brown shade is done on the creamy natural mulberry silk base. Each peacock motif is highlighted with Qasab Taar Aari embroidery detailing, done very painstakingly. Thereafter, the saree is scattered with high quality micro sequins all over. Cutdana and Pearls add their lustre to this masterpiece of a saree! The blouse fabric is running with floral Chikankari embroidery, along with sequins detailing. This is the saree that captures the essence for those who wish to create their own Heirlooms to wear and hand down as their legacy! 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. P.S.: 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.

Chikankari Kurta Edit, Ready to Ship

The Awadh Blossom

₹39,500.00

We have 1 piece available in this ensemble of Meiraas. Please choose your size & we will prepare the kurta accordingly. After 1 ensemble is sold, rest pieces will be Made on Order The Sustainability Quotient (TSQ): 1. 2 Taar Resham Hand Embroidery on 2. The Awadh Blossom motif re-created from an archived motif shown in Paola Manfredi's "Chikankari: A Lucknowi Tradition" 2. Motifs hand carved following all processes. 4. Conceptual Chikankari work, that might someday be housed in a museum of crafts, or a well researched coffee table book. KHAYAL (mood-board): This beautiful flower, with opening and carelessly cascading petals, appears on almost every monument in the erstwhile Awadh region, right uptil Ayodhya. Is it Lotus (less likely), is it Semal flower (but why?), it certainly isn't rose. There has been no culture of Tulips in the country, so which flower is it, that appears on every monument of note, throughout Awadh. This motif is accompanied with Matsya motif, and can be seen in all old temples & buildings of Ayodhya, the most ancient seat of Awadh. It has to have a deep cultural significance. So for now, let us name it - The Awadh Blossom. If one goes to the National Museum, Delhi, one can also see a gorgeous Jade knife hoslter with the same Awadh Blossom carved on it. This flower was certainly significant. POSHAAK (about the dress): This 2 Taar Resham Chikankari Kurta Dupatta ensemble is a rarity in minimalist moodboard. Usually when it comes to 2 Taar Resham Chikankari, it is so rare, that one gets full ensemble embroidered in it. Minimalist moodboard allows patrons to enjoy this rare & precious embroidery, with a historic motif, in a more functional format. The front of the Kurta and sleeves has an open tulip floral motif with Qasab Taar ki Jaali, the back has the re-created statement motif of The Awadh Blossom, in all its grandeur, with very intricate workmanship. The dupatta that accompanies the Kurta has the open tulip motif too, with Qasab taar Jaali detailing. We chose the three colour pastel embroidery on ivory base, for the 2 Taar work to stand out in a minimalist moodboard. The Pure Georgette Silk base makes this a perfect wear for many occasions, both formal & semi formal. Some pearls or solitaires are all one needs to dress up such an ensemble. If you wish to add plain Glazed Cotton pants in same shade to match, you can select the same from Glazed Cotton Plain Pants and in Customer Note mention: Please make Pants to match the selected set. We will do the needful. If you want pants of another style, then reach out to us at namaste@meiraas.com and we will take the conversation forward. This post has Kurta & Dupatta (stitching & slip is complimentary) that can be shopped. Pants can be added extra, as explained above.
