KHAYAL (mood-board):
Our Pauranic Literature & History mentions many great Gods, Demi Gods, Fantastical beasts that are deified, all of whom have birthed the species that exist today on our planet. Airavat, the father of elephants, is described as an 11 trunked, three headed, many tusked gigantic elephant king, that serves as the Mount of Indra, the God of Rain and the King of Devas.
Airavat has been a part of many Dev Asur battles, and has a significant presence in our Pauranic lores. The idea to introduce Pauranic creatures in Chikankari, was birthed basis an 18th Century swatch of Sri Lakshmi goddess in Chikankari, housed in National Museum, New Delhi.
This, and an informal interviews with private collectors and ancestral artisans confirmed, that Deities of Pauranic lore, were very much part of Chikankari.
Taking inspiration from this thought, we now launch our first motif of this kind, Airavat. The one that exudes Power & Intelligence, along with humility & grace!

The front of the kurta has a Star shaped motif to bring in the celestial connect of Airavat, and those stars have also been done in Jaali stitch and closed using Orma sitch. The neckline has a ghaspatti bel.
The base of this stunning Yellow Kurta is handwoven Eri/Ahimsa/Peace Silk, with work done in shades of Rust & Dark Chocolate.
