Syaahi Bangalori Silk Multicolor Cultural Wall Hanging

What do I see on the panel?

Pale cows, a house and a rider, painted on a black ground. The pale cows glow softly against the black, giving the scene a gentle, calm feel, with pink, green and purple adding colour around them.

Tell me about the flower ring.

A thick ring of pink, green and purple round flowers frames the whole scene, with tassel drops hanging along it. Being wide and colourful, the ring is as much a feature as the centre and gives the piece a rich, full look.

Is it painted by hand?

Yes. It is made to order and painted by hand on Bangalori silk at our Kalamkari unit in Mangalagiri by Master Artisan Jyothi. Look closely at the round flowers and you will see each one is a little different, which is the brush at work.

What is the right way to wash it?

Use a gentle handwash and wash it separately from other fabrics. Since the colours are painted on silk by hand, a gentle, separate wash is the way to care for it.

Does it suit a contemporary home?

Yes. Its black ground and bright flower ring give a modern room a single, bold focal point. Pair it with plain walls and simple furniture, and the pink and purple flowers will become the room's accent colours.
