Silkmark Tussar Tranquil Madhubani Handpainted Beige Saree

What is painted on the Tranquil saree?

The saree carries a large nested diamond-and-square medallion with birds, and the pallu is heavily worked with a teal diamond lattice. A narrow painted band in orange and red runs along the edge. The palette is teal, pink, orange and blue on beige tussar, so it reads colourful but orderly.

Does it come with a blouse piece?

Yes. The blouse piece is attached to the saree and comes in the pallu colour, so it ties in with the painted end. Your tailor will cut it off and stitch it to your measurements and preferred neckline.

What blouse colours suit the Tranquil saree?

Pick from the painting. A teal or peacock blue blouse picks up the lattice, while a deep pink or magenta echoes the accents. The attached blouse comes in the pallu colour if you prefer a matched finish. Avoid another busy print; the geometry is already doing a lot.

How do I look after a hand-painted tussar saree?

It's dry clean only. Keep it in a separate bag in a dry place, change the folds now and then and air it in non-moist air regularly. If it ever needs drying, dry it in the shade. This protects both the silk and the painted surface.

What does the Silkmark label tell me?

Silkmark is the purity label of the Silk Mark Organisation of India. It certifies that the fabric is genuine silk, not a polyester or blended look-alike. On a hand-painted saree at this price, it's your assurance that the artwork sits on pure tussar.
