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!!
