4. Handloom Maheshwari fusion with Chikankari

Khayal (moodboard):

When I had conceptualised making Chikankari on these sarees, the very thought of Maheshwari weaving paying an homage to their town inspired me to create Awadh leitmotifs on them. I wanted the unique inspiration of Lucknow & Awadh to be represented on these sarees. The Khayal of Awadh meeting the Song of Maheshwar!! – Vidhi Rastogi, Head of Design, Meiraas

POSHAAK (about the saree):

A beautiful woven Resham Border inspired by Maheshwar Fort adorns this cheerful Pink & Green beauty on which we have got Paisley Chikankari Motif embroidered that is 200 plus years old!! The embroidery is statement like with two motifs on either side of Palla width & then small floral motifs on the Palla. These small motifs get sparse as we enter the body of the saree. This ensures that either Art is not engulfing the other & both stand out symbiotically.

Imp:

1.)Please see model images for closest saree colour

2.)The saree has no tassles as visible in 1st image. The model image that has tassles on saree was the first such saree made. Rest of the saree is completely identical.
