Inspiration
We grew up with dance, music, Sitar, Tanpura , Tabla and harmonium around us – At least one or a combination of few of these practices were a big part of many Indian homes. So many evenings and Sunday mornings we spent in nurturing the singer or dancer or the musical maestro in us. This saree is inspired by the Shree/Siri/Sree Raaga/Raag of Indian Classical music. Sree Raag is serious and thought provoking in its nature and creates an atmosphere where the listener is led to heed the advice given therein. The listener (the mind) is made aware of the truth or her subconscious.
The saree envelopes you in contemplation and reflection.
A feeling of composure and tranquility envelopes you in this six and a half yards.

Description
Fabric:
The prints bloom in an altogether artistic appeal on the pure organic cotton (100% cotton), grown in India. Organic cotton is regular cotton that is grown organically without the use of any synthetic agricultural chemicals such as fertilizers or pesticides aside from the ones allowed by the certified organic labeling. The drape is light and comfortable. This cotton hugs you softly. It might benefit from starching after 4-5 wears but starching is not necessary at all.
Printing:
The motifs are screen printed on the fabric. Screen printing is a method in which ink is applied directly to the surface to be printed (substrate). The image to be printed is photographically transferred to a very fine fabric (the screen) such that the non-printing areas are blocked off and the fabric serves as a stencil. The ink is wiped across the screen to pass through the unblocked pores and reach the substrate. For each color to be printed a separate screen is prepared and the process is repeated. It is tedious and painstakingly done by hand.
I bought this saree to gift my Mother in law. Loved its unique design and colors. Very light and easy to manage. She loved it and was complimented by many. A wonderful gift for someone who loves music and sarees!
Loved this one. Everyone loved it. This one fetched a lot of compliments. Your sarees are amazing. I do not have to pin them. And the fact that I do not have worry about pinning makes it so much easier. The saree lets me the way I am.
