Syaahi Mangalagiri Handpainted Green Lustrous Saree

What colours are on the body?

The body is olive green, painted all over with a jaal of floral vines and small birds in yellow, pink and purple, which gives it a warm, garden-like feel. A rust-orange border with a gold shimmer frames it along the edges.

What is on the pallu?

The pallu carries a painted deity panel in pink, green and cream, finished with tassels at the end. It is the most worked part of the saree, and the panel stands out clearly against the olive vines of the body.

Is it heavy to wear?

No. These Mangalagiri hand-painted sarees are lightweight drapes, so it stays comfortable through a long function. The cotton silk has a soft sheen and comfortable wear, which suits a wedding or an evening dinner as easily as a festive day.

How would you style it?

The blouse comes attached. For contrast, orange or red links to the border, while a mustard or black blouse works with the painted pallu. Gold jewellery suits the olive ground better than silver.
