The inspiration behind this saree is the Ambi or Amiya motif, which symbolises Mango Fruit in Lucknow summers.

This is the reason why most Chikankari garments carry this motif as a signature look. Another signature look of Chikankari is its Jaali stitch, which we wanted to incorporate, along with the Biryani Chawal or Murri stitch inside the Ambi shape, making this one of a kind rare, conceptual saree from Lucknow. The motif and the stitches that have been used to bring it alive, gives a feeling of the art and cultural heritage coming together to celebrate Lucknow, via needle handicraft.
