Beautiful Mukaish Kurta Fabric on Leheriya, accompanied by a dupatta to make one of a kind set that harks to the antique Awadhi Couture style, when ladies of the erstwhile royal kingdom, wore Leheriya adorned with Mukaish embroidery! This piece however has travelled to 3 Indian states to complete its journey
The Sustainability Quotient (TSQ):
Mukaish Hand Embroidery in Honeycomb pattern following all processes from 'kadhai' (embroidery) to 'ghutaai' (rubbing of embroidery using glass bottle to set it) done by artisan cluster of Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh.
Leheriya hand resist tie & dye done by artisan cluster of Rajasthan.
Handloom Chanderi fabric woven by weaver cluster in Chanderi, Madhya Pradesh.
Re creation of an archival style of Craft Confluence, prevalent in Nawab Era.
KHAYAL (mood-board): The Honeycomb reflects nature's best lesson of Singularity Pattern - there is always a loop left open from where the possibility to Re-Start exists!! Isn't that thought reflective of Human Power of Resilience? The Hive Mind. The Collective Consciousness. When done on the Leheriya pattern, that denotes Sands of Time, it creates a profound wearable art, and one that was very much worn in late 17th Century too!
POSHAAK (about the garment): The Kurta fabric is Leheriya pattern in beautiful hues of Lime Green. On top of this, honeycomb pattern Mukaish embroidery has been done, that enhances the beauty of this artisanal fabric. The dupatta is plain Chanderi with Mukaish in Lime Green, to help break the monotony and keep the attention on the tunic.
We will stitch the kurta for you, if you desire.

IMP: The fabric is hand tied & dyed Leheriya, hence the colour will be non uniform. That is the nature and the charm of the craft. The dupatta will be closest match, as that is single dyed and not Leheriya. This is the unique charm of an artisanal piece.

KHAYAL (moodboard): Deepmala translates to a "Garland of Diyas" or Earthen lamps, one of the most therapeutic and energising sights of Deepawali festival. There is not one soul who can say that the lit rows of Diyas with their soulful flame does not invoke a sense of calmness, positivity, love and joy. It is one of those moments of joy that is not ephemeral. Do you know why? Because the silent flame of the Diya makes you realise that this is how your Aatman is inside your Body. The realisation brings the relativity & connectivity!! We wanted to capture the glow of Diyas on a Diwali night through a Mukaish creation, and here we did it through DeepMala.
POSHAAK (about the saree): A stunning Oxblood Red Chanderi Kurta with Deepmala stars of Mukaish on the front panel and sleeves looking like glowing diyas. The back has single star Mukaish allover. This stunning Kurta is fully lined with soft cotton lining to ensure proper comfort.

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 kurta.
Painstaking research work was done to recreate these motif that you can read here Falaknuma
POSHAAK (about the dress): Red & Black motifs of Chess stand boldly against the butter white backdrop of the Kurta - Power of Silence. The back has one statement motif of Black & Red Chessboard fitted inside a Paisley Shape to draw the Awadhi connect to the design board. The kurta is a statement conversation piece & best worn with Bisaat Dupatta or standalone.
Important: The kurta will come with a detachable slip complimentary from Meiraas, along with stitching & finishing also complimentary.
Meiraas Bestseller Chikankari design since its first launch in 2018, the Power of Silence, Dance of the Cranes motif has been one of our most requested motifs. This is a Chikankari Kurta made on Handloom Chanderi with White on White embroidery, making it a classic & ethereal choice for all occasions.
The Sustainability Quotient (TSQ):
1. Skilled Resham Hand Embroidery on absolutely novel motif art.
2. Exclusive Dance of the Cranes Meiraas motifs carved following all processes.
3. Handloom Chanderi
4. Conceptual Chikankari work, that might someday be housed in a museum of crafts, or a well researched coffee table book.
KHAYAL (mood-board):
The outskirts of the historic & charming city of Lucknow are equally beautiful in their rustic charm. These ancient Indo Gangetic plains are lush with greenery & boasts of one of World's oldest agrarian civilisation. Watching the emerald landscape of Awadh is a surreal experience, even more so in winters when dotted with the migratory bird population, the most notable of these being the Siberian Cranes, that never enter the city Lucknow, but stay just outside, especially in Nawabgunj Bird Sanctuary. With this concept in mind, we wanted to design motifs that glide in the night sky in a Yin & Yang appeal; we found the desirable art style of these motifs, very surprisingly, in Japan. The ancient Japanese Art style is dramatically circular in design, & it is here that we found our serendipity, the right manner to display the Nawabgunj Cranes. The motif of Chikankari is an exclusive design of Meiraas launched in 2018. Borrowing from Japanese palette, we designed the motifs keeping Chikankari stitches in mind, that best romance the gliding flight of the Siberian Cranes.
POSHAAK (about the dress):
The cranes are falling, gliding, flying & finally in a circular Dance of Love at the statement back, in this Meiraas Exclusive Kurta made on Handloom Chanderi. The lace detailing on the neckline adds charm & romance to the ethereal Kurta. The White of the Kurta with its butter Pure Chanderi base is perfect to create the right drama, and yet have a classic appeal.
Additional Details: Made On Order Kurta. Please select your size & we will stitch it complimentary.
