Rangira Silkmark Ghicha Tussar Silk Saree Ecru Beige

What's painted on the pallu?

Two tall painted arches sit side by side with birds and leafy branches inside, above a row of peacocks with fanned tails. The borders carry painted folk bands with geometric edging. It's a balanced, symmetrical layout in teal, orange and pink on the beige tussar.

What are the saree and blouse lengths?

The saree is 5.6 to 5.7 metres and the blouse piece is a separate 80 cm. That saree length suits standard pleats with a regular pallu. If you're tall or like deep pleats, pleat a touch narrower or wear it slightly lower at the waist.

What jewellery suits this saree?

Oxidised silver and tribal-style pieces suit the folk feel of the arches and peacocks. For a festive function, antique gold or polki adds warmth. Keep earrings bold and the necklace lighter, since the painting already covers the whole saree.

Can I hand wash Ghicha tussar?

Please don't. The saree is dry clean only, which protects the hand painting and the silk texture. Between wears, air it in the shade, then store it somewhere cool and dry, away from sunlight and damp.

Who painted it?

It's crafted by Wasif Ahmed from Bhagalpur in Bihar. The Madhubani artwork is painted by hand across the saree, so every piece carries its own small variations in line and colour.
