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.

Dhanlakshami Chikankari Sarees

Brahmakamal

Brahmakamal is the most beautiful Resham Chikankari creation we have made on Pure Organza Silk fabric. The lightweight and pearly lustrous Organza holds the delicate strands of Resham embroidered into sheer poetry of a saree!! This saree is Made On Order only. Please email us at namaste@meiraas.com for colour or fabric customisation. The Sustainability Quotient (TSQ): 1. Skilled Resham Hand Embroidery on an absolutely novel border art. 2. Hand Embroidered Mukaish highlights. 3. Natural Fibre base - Pure Organza Silk. 4. Rare stitches like, Murri (Rice Grain) form the major part of the embroidery. The shadow work done in this saree is silent (which means that the shadow threadwork in the reverse is not visible from front, yet it gives the classic impression or shadow). KHAYAL (Mood-board): The elusive Brahmakamal, is an ancient celestial Indian flower, that is considered extremely auspicious to be offered to our prime deities. The reason behind this is its rarity of blooming in just one night between the period of late summer & early autumn, and that too in the higher Himalayas of Uttarakhand. Our scriptures revere this Brahmakamal as divine and celestial, due to this rarity. Various ancient texts of India and Tibet have mentioned its amazing therapeutic properties that can cure many fatal diseases. Brahmakamal is that flora of our land, which was deemed as the best kept mystery of the natural secret garden of the Himalayas. We spotted some rare Brahmakamal in our many travels to the higher Himalayas, and envisioned them in the craft of Chikankari. POSHAAK (About the garment): As the name suggests, we envisioned this saree in pure, pristine and pearly white. Our immediate thought was using the purest Organza Silk as the base to display the snow capped peaks of Higher Himalayas, but with a mystique; hence, Organza was the choice. The motif chosen for this saree was one that had to have a Brahmakamal like shape, which we luckily found in an old border motif. The best of stitches were brainstormed, which would bring alive this artwork. After the magnificent border, the palla was adorned with snowflake like motif to showcase the presence of the blooms in the higher altitudes of Himalayas. The rest of the body has smaller motifs. Stars of Mukaish are scattered through the saree like fireflies in the mountains glowing like celestial lamps on a full moon night!! P.S : We will recommend getting this saree made on Pure Georgette Silk base

KHAYAL (moodboard): If Chikankari embroidery is Poetry on Textile, then Jaali stitch is its Evocative Drama!!

Windows through which the first rays of sunshine sieve and enter a dark room, and spread their warmth in an alluring pattern. Windows through which the silver glow of a full Moon, enters in a cosmic colour play of calmness. Jaali has more spiritual connect with the artisans than we can think; maybe this is what makes the stitch the high point of Chikankari art. POSHAAK (about the garment): This bright yellow dupatta has 2 antique Chikankari motifs - Paan and Chaand. Both motifs have very intricate detailing inside them. The bootas are placed on diagonal ends of the dupatta, & the body is filled with 3 miniature motif cluster all through.

Golden Trellis Mukaish Swarna Chakra Organza Dupatta

₹10,500.00

Golden Trellis is our heirloom collection of Mukaish work that was historically done once upon a time in Awadh region, but is not done any more. Golden Trellis is a result of, one of the many research projects we are working upon simultaneously. We know some might not see light of the day (although we firmly believe that everything can be revived if we just have the right patience and the will to keep going), some will prove to be false tales - a mirage of a narrative built for dramatic value and nothing more...but some, like Golden Trellis will be a reality that can be translated to fabric yet again, even if in a small way, or a shadow of its one time glory...at least there will be a start. Golden Trellis is part of the Art & Antiquities Project undertaken by Meiraas. The Sustainability Quotient (TSQ):

Heritage Mukaish work re created: This work comes under Kamdani Embroidery. The name we have given to this particular style is "glasswork", after we got our Amer saree designed in same stitch. This is due to the fact, that we get it especially rubbed in ghutaai process to get the metal wires to shine like molten glass (we wanted the molten glass painting look of Amer Fort art). This is extremely dexterous work and is done on miniature motif style to ensure its wearability on multiple occasions, instead of it being relegated for very few. This work was historically done in Lucknow. What can be better sustainability than finding out a lost artwork in a craft & helping revive it again to wearable pieces, & most importantly in pieces that can be part of today's Heritage Builders' private collection; this will ensure the craft's continued sustainability.
Mukaish Hand Embroidery with proper "ghutaai" - this means Mukaish embroidery has been rubbed using old technique of filling pebbles in a bottle and rubbing on the embroidery, instead of new age roller press method. This one method ensures long lasting Mukaish. In itself Mukaish is more sustainable craft that sequins or "salma sitaara" embroidery, as Mukaish never comes off, maintaining the look of the garment for much longer time.

KHAYAL (moodboard): Poetry etched in fabric, Golden Trellis alludes to the once opulent courts of the ancient royalties of India. Trellis is the jaali like window pattern, a signature architecture in heritage monuments of the Golden Era. This museum quality piece of legacy bound, wearable art will a pride for any one who owns it. POSHAAK (about the dupatta): Handloom Pure Organza Dupatta embroidered beautifully with the rare & precious Swarna Chakra or Golden Diskette. This beautiful Swarna Chakra has very neat & delicate Kamdani work closed with a ring embroidery; the miniature embroidery is allover the dupatta. A historic dupatta, that will always be the pride of the owner & will remain as part of handpicked private collection.

This is a very complex embroidery where Mukaish wires are embroidered one on top of another to make a mesh trellis patten & is then interlocked within a ring. The back of this dupatta (3rd image) leaves the onlooker startled with the dexterity that would have been employed. It is like "weaving" embroidery within the fabric!
