Rangira Silkmark Ghicha Tussar Silk Saree Fawn Beige

What does the painting on the Rangira saree show?

The pallu is painted with rows of standing women among leaves, with arches, lotus peacocks and bands of flowers around them, all on a soft beige ground. Painted folk bands with geometric edging frame the borders. The colours are teal, orange, blue and red.

Is the blouse stitched?

No, the blouse comes as an unstitched 80 cm piece, so you can have it tailored to your exact fit and neckline. It's included in the package along with the saree.

Can the Rangira saree be dressed up for an office party?

Yes. Pair it with a deep blue or teal silk blouse that picks up the painting, add gold or kundan jewellery and a darker lip. The natural sheen of Ghicha tussar adds to the richness of the painted figures, so it looks polished for an office party or a festive gathering.

Why is a hand-painted tussar priced higher than a woven silk saree of similar look?

Two things add up: the fabric is Silkmark-certified pure tussar, and the artwork is painted by hand across the saree rather than woven by machine or printed. Each piece takes a painter's time and skill, and no two come out the same.

What is tussar silk like to wear?

Ghicha tussar is a textured silk with a natural sheen, a rich feel and breathable comfort, and it carries the Silkmark, which assures authentic pure silk. Its textured feel and graceful drape make it comfortable to wear through long festive days.
