Woven entirely by hand on traditional pit looms, this upper-tier piece is built for the bridal trousseau and the most significant occasions of a lifetime. A matching blouse piece is included.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThe Craft\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBishnupur's weavers bring exceptional precision to this piece, drawing on a design tradition shaped by the town's extraordinary terracotta temple heritage. The \u003cem\u003epallu\u003c\/em\u003e (the decorative end panel draped over the shoulder) and borders are woven with a peacock tail fan motif — one of the most auspicious and technically demanding patterns in the Bengal weaving vocabulary — framed by a lotus creeper border with \u003cem\u003ezari\u003c\/em\u003e (fine metallic thread) of superior quality. The peacock tail fan requires a master weaver's control of the supplementary weft to achieve the precise gradation of the feather pattern; it cannot be replicated by machine.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFabric \u0026amp; Feel\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003ePure katan silk at this grade is dense, deeply luminous, and structured with a presence that announces itself quietly in a room.
