Craft : Kalamkari- Hand Painting

Kalamkari means literally drawing with a pen, sarees featuring the kalamkari craft have been adorned by women over the ages. There are two distinct styles of kalamkari - Srikalahasti and Machalipatnam. The fabric gets its glossiness from its immersion in milk and resin. Kalamkari fabrics are created in seventeen steps, using only natural dyes, with numerous washes. Typically, the motifs capture the essence of temple architecture and scenes from great epics. Sakhi borrows from this craft and brings alive the soul of kalamkari with fashionable designs. The motifs are inspired by peacock and nature. The saree features ellaborate Kalamkari hand painting on the Pallu and Blouse.

* Please note the blouse worn by the model is available with this Sakhi saree and if you wish for a custom made classic style blouse please select from the Saree Finishing Packages . Please note there might be a slight colour variation.
