Syaahi Mangalagiri Silk Breezy Multi Color Dupatta

What is painted on this dupatta?

Bright figures and flowering trees in orange, pink, blue, green and cream are painted across a dark ground. The scenes have a storytelling feel, with figures standing among the trees, in the style of Kalamkari. The dark base makes the bright colours look even livelier.

What do the orange borders add?

Wide orange borders with a fine gold-toned edge run along both sides. They bring a strong band of warmth to the dark body, so the dupatta frames the face brightly and makes even a plain kurta look finished.

Which occasions does it suit?

It shines at kitty parties and brunches, where its colourful figures draw compliments. It is also easy to wear to the office over a solid kurta, light enough for summer outings and travel, and bright enough for festive gatherings.

What is Mangalagiri silk?

Mangalagiri silk is a traditional fabric from the Mangalagiri region of Andhra Pradesh, known for its rich texture, fine quality and durability. It has long been used for festive sarees, and here it carries a matte painted finish that looks light on the body.

How should I wash it?

Gentle hand wash with mild detergent, and always wash it separately from other clothes. Avoid scrubbing or wringing. Dry it in shade to keep the orange borders and bright figures from fading.
