Raat ki Raani or Night Jasmine is a fragrance that we associate Lucknow deeply with. Used very liberally in our homes, since childhood, it is a fragrance after dusk, that we had grown accustomed to. Come monsoons, the sultry evenings in the homes of this regal city, would be wafting in the strong and sweet scent of this flower shrub.
Amongst many fragrances, which are signature of Awadh culture, Night Jasmine is most certainly an underrated, but a prominent one. The flower motif in this fabric is an imagination of the memories that this flower would evoke with its mellow scent.

In the summer of 2022, we travelled to the villages around Lucknow city, which have been inked into legends and ballads due to their vast stretches of Mango Orchards, full of sweet fragrance and even sweeter promises. It was here, that we chanced upon some small, but gorgeous stretches of Sunflower Fields, farmed for the much used Sunflower Oil. The sight was as beautiful as a William Wordsworth poem, and also one that was unexpected in the topography of Awadh. This wanted us to add one more motif to our bouquet of work based on Awadh region.
Surajmukhi is a stunning statement motif in a field of other flowers & trees.

Miniature or "keel ka boota" are absolutely small and detailed motifs in Chikankari, that though very popular once, and now used very sparingly in a very commercial market. These motifs were extremely popular amongst even the Britishers and Europeans who loved the appeal of a clean palette with nuanced small motifs, lazily adorning the fabric with delicate touch. Meiraas undertakes the work of finding such miniature antique motifs (now such new motifs are not made) and using them to create subtle pieces of wearable art.
Poshaak (About the fabric):
This Chikankari and Mukaish Top/Blouse fabric is an ethereal White on White beauty, with smattering of two miniature motifs of Flowers on front & back and one motif for sleeves. This will be a blouse that you will love to pair with any saree. We will recommend that you keep it white for multi usage. Please get the fabric fully lined to make a blouse.
