Inspiration
A smile of mirth spread over the sky
When you dressed my heart in rags and sent her forth into the road to beg.
She went from door to door, and many a time when her bowl was nearly full she was robbed.
At the end of the weary day she came to your palace holding up her pitiful bowl, And you came and took her hand and seated her beside you on the throne.
This saree is from the Uphaar series. Uphaar or gift is a token of love. Love gives in numberless ways.
That love is generous, when it accepts us at our lowest. Feel the generosity of acceptance in this elegant, printed cotton weave. Drape it for an occasion, a formal event or gift it to someone who loves with full acceptance.

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.
