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.Â
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
POSHAAK (about the saree):
Mihikavan Heirloom Chikankari, made on Pure Georgette Silk (certified Silk Mark India). The saree is embroidered all over with the Palla having antique Paisley motif replete with Latticework Stitch (jaali) with qasab taar detailing. The full saree is embroidered with very inticate floral motif. Stitches like shadow, ghaspatti, orma, jaali, zanjeera, hool make this stunning saree. Mukaish stars create the much needed Mihika in this Garden created with needles and thread. The embroidery is done with 2 Taar Resham Thread and is extremely rare.
Please note that the actual colour of this saree is light almond or beige. The darker colours that you see in some photographs is lighting effect. The Cover pic and 3rd last image are shot against a backlight to show you the neatness of the work. This saree will come out most beautifully on Pure Georgette only. The last 2 images are Blouse piece

- Since this is a Made on Order saree, the patron can customise their desired shade. For this drop in an email on namaste@meiraas.com . Once the colour is selected by the patron, and we start the work, no change can be made.
- This is very heavily embroidered saree, therefore mostly the length one gets in such sarees is 41-42 inches only. If you want wider saree, then an extra Pure Georgette fabric will be added on top seamlessly.
- There is No Return/Refund/Cancellation on Made on Order pieces.

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.
