Inspiration
Love one another, but make not a bond of love.
Let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls.
Fill each other’s cup, but drink not from one cup.
Give one another of your bread, but eat not from the same loaf.
Sing and dance together and be joyous, but let each one of you be alone.
Even as the strings of a lute are alone though they quiver with the same music.
Give your hearts, but not into each other’s keeping.
For only the hand of life can contain your hearts.
And stand together, yet not too near together.
For the pillars of the temple stand apart.
And the oak tree and the cypress grow not in each other’s shadow.
This saree is from the Uphaar series. Uphaar or gift is a token of love. Love does not possess but with its abundance it bestows freedom.
Drape this printed cotton weave in a soft orange shade with a feeling of abundance and freedom or gift it to someone who showers abundance and generousity.

Description
Fabric:
The prints come together on a pure soft cotton with a woven gold border and bootas. It might benefit from starching after 2-3 wears but starching is not necessary.
Printing:
The design is block printed on the saree. One of the oldest direct printing techniques is block printing, dating back thousands of years. In block printing, a design is carved into a hard substance like wood. Then, fabric is laid out flat, and the block is dipped in dye and pressed onto the fabric. Block printing doesn’t require many tools and can be done manually. The process is simply repeated until the desired effect is reached. Some printing blocks can be quite intricate.We have used multiple blocks to achieve the entire effect on the saree.
