The natural sheen of Tussar silk, created here using the traditional pre-loom thigh reeling technique, is complimented by a border of Indian magenta and midnight blue motifs woven using the Phera and Jhala technique. Inspired by traditional homes in Chhattisgarh, the saree’s body is reminiscent of their mud plastered facades, while the border is a playful geometric rendition of the repetitive patterns of wooden pillars and beams.
