Woven entirely by hand on traditional pit looms, this piece is designed for the occasions that celebrate the bonds between women — Raksha Bandhan, Bhai Dooj, and the milestones that call for a gift of lasting meaning. A matching blouse piece is included.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThe Craft\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBishnupur's weavers bring a gentle precision to this piece, drawing on a design tradition shaped by the town's terracotta temple heritage and Bengal's rich artistic legacy. The \u003cem\u003epallu\u003c\/em\u003e (the decorative end panel draped over the shoulder) and borders are woven with a ribbon weave stripe pattern — a rhythmic, flowing design that creates a sense of gentle movement across the silk — punctuated by chameli \u003cem\u003ebutis\u003c\/em\u003e (small repeating jasmine flower motifs) in \u003cem\u003ezari\u003c\/em\u003e (fine metallic thread). The chameli buti is an auspicious Bengal motif associated with affection, celebration, and new beginnings — qualities that make it particularly suited to gifting occasions between family members.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFabric \u0026amp; Feel\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003ePure katan silk moves with a composed ease that suits festive daytime and evening occasions equally well.
