Delicate floral vines, woven in precise geometry, unfurl along the borders, while graceful chaufuliya blooms adorn the body. Crafted in exacting kadhua with roopa sona zari, the pallu reveals a discipline of symmetry refined through centuries of design heritage. Sculptural geometric bootas are thoughtfully placed, each form oriented toward a striking quarterfoil medallion. A rare distribution and directionality drawing the eye inward, a quiet homage to the architectural poetry and ornamental mastery of Deccan ateliers and Banaras.
-
Color - A jewel tone of purple
-
Technique - An enduring Kadwa weave. The elaborate and laborious Kadwa (Kadhua) technique involves hand-weaving each motif separately. It takes longer on the handloom, but makes a more robust pattern, which stands out on the fabric.
-
Fabric - Pure Katan Silk
-
Collection Note - A celebration of the imaginative artistry that flourished in the royal courts of the Deccan, Tilfi’s Bridal collection finds its roots in heritage. Inspired by the lyrical floral artistry of Kalamkari paintings, the collection evokes a surreal dreamscape where florals blur the line between the real and the imagined. Merging Deccan opulence and regalia with the symmetrical harmony of the Islamic school of art, it celebrates the continuity of tradition and the grandeur of a bygone world, while carrying a promise of a future shaped by vision and artistry.

Tilfi Promise - Pure. Handloom. Banaras.
- Note - The saree comes with its own blouse piece. The model is wearing a separate blouse for styling purposes.
Since this product is handwoven, there might be slight irregularities. But don't you think these add to the singular charm of a handloom beauty?
