Kalpataru Parakeet Kalamkari Silk Saree - Mustard

Green hand-painted parakeets take flight against the mustard body of this Kanchipuram silk saree bordered by a woven check pattern on the pallu. Comes attached with checked blouse fabric. Material: Mulberry silk woven in Kanchipuram Colour: Mustard and Green Saree Length: 5.50m Blouse: 85cm Each Kanchipuram silk saree in our Kalpataru range is hand-painted by master artists in Kalahasti who have carried forward this tradition over generations. The sarees are painted using natural pigments derived from tree bark, fruit peels and flowers, washed in running river water and bleached by the sun. Every saree is moulded by the colours, water and sunlight of the region, and each line, stroke and variation is a testament to the artist’s skill and labour.  Note: Since the traditional Kalamkari process involves multiple rounds of preparation and washing, the attached blouse piece on this saree is slightly smaller than our standard allowance due to shrinkage. If you require more fabric or would like to tailor a custom blouse, please reach out to our team. Care Instructions: Dry clean only, store in a cool dry place and avoid direct sunlight.
