Russet Kalamkari Maheshwari Silk Saree

The Russet Kalamkari Hand-Painted Maheshwari Silk Saree is a beautifully handcrafted piece that blends the rich tradition of Kalamkari art with the elegance of Maheshwari silk. Here’s a closer look at this artisanal saree:

Product Overview:

• Design & Craft:

  • This saree features the intricate art of Kalamkari, a traditional Indian painting style known for its hand-drawn motifs and detailed, vibrant patterns. The Kalamkari painting is done in Srikalahasti, a renowned center for this craft, where artisans use traditional methods, including hand-drawing and hand-painting on the fabric.
  • The design often incorporates themes from mythology, nature, and folklore, giving the saree an artistic and cultural depth.

• Fabric:

  • Made from Maheshwari silk, a luxurious yet lightweight silk known for its fine texture and sheen. The fabric is handloom-woven, offering an authentic, traditional feel, and it comes in a rich syrup brown or russet hue, adding a warm, earthy tone to the saree.

• Natural Colors:

  • The Kalamkari painting on this saree is done using 100% natural colors, which are derived from organic sources like flowers, leaves, and roots. This eco-friendly method not only adds to the charm of the saree but also highlights its sustainable production process.

Key Features:

• Traditional & Contemporary: The fusion of Kalamkari art with Maheshwari silk makes this saree suitable for both traditional occasions and modern, artistic styling.
• Lightweight & Comfortable: Weighing approximately 300 grams, the Maheshwari silk fabric is light and breathable, making it ideal for both day and evening wear.

Length & Dimensions:

• Length: The saree is 6.5 meters long, which includes the attached blouse piece. This length offers enough fabric for traditional draping styles.
• Width: The saree is 44 inches wide, giving it a full, comfortable drape.

Wash & Care Instructions:

• Dry Clean Only: To maintain the natural colors and the integrity of the Kalamkari painting, it is recommended to dry clean the saree.
