Madhubani Bandhani NEELI Mayur- Surmai Mandara Handpainted Saree

Made on order. Will be dispatched on a maximum of 60-70 days.

This saree is a unification of hand-painted Madhubani art, & Bandhani, a technique which itself dates back to 4000 BC.

The evidence of Bandhani roots point to as early as the Indus Valley Civilization, whereas, Madhubani/Mithila art has been found in accounts of Lord Rama & Sita Maa's Swayamvar!

Bandhani is a highly skilled process. The technique involves dyeing a fabric which is tied tightly with a thread at several points, thus producing a variety of traditional patterns like Chandrakala, Bavan Baug, & Shikari. Dyeing is done by hand, & natural colors are used mainly.

This Tussar silk saree has a beautiful depiction of mayuri and surmai mandara on the aanchal, complementing the color and vibe of the saree.

Perfect intermingling of two of India's finest art techniques, makes the senses commingle!
