Ethereal, devotional, and unlike anything in the traditional saree vocabulary — this ivory / cream Murshidabad / Garad silk saree is the most painterly and contemporary piece in the Durga collection. The body is a pristine, lustrous ivory in the celebrated Murshidabad / Garad silk weave — but here the ivory ground dissolves into a breathtaking ombre / watercolour pastel composition: soft blush pink and powder blue washes melt into the ivory in a gentle, dreamy gradient, overlaid with a subtle diamond / ogee lattice texture that gives the body a soft, quilted depth. The effect is like a watercolour painting on silk — the pastel washes luminous and soft, the ivory ground glowing beneath.
The border is a wide, bold red silk Lal Paar stripe with a breathtaking feathered ikat-spike / arrow edge — bold, upward-pointing ivory spikes / arrow tips bleeding from the ivory body into the red border in the characteristic resist-dyed bleed of the ikat tradition. The spikes are large, bold, and dramatic — like flames or arrows pointing upward into the red border, creating a border edge of extraordinary graphic power. The ikat spike border runs the full length of the saree on both sides, framing the ombre pastel body with the deep, auspicious red of Shakti.
The pallu is a breathtaking large-scale contemporary folk art digital print of Goddess Durga’s face in profile on the ombre pastel ground. The goddess is depicted in a bold, graphic, painterly style: her ornate crown of deep red lotus petals with gold filigree scrollwork detail, her flowing dark hair with characteristic swirling curls, her kohl-lined eyes with the fierce, serene gaze of the Divine Mother, and her gold chandelier earring rendered in meticulous detail. The goddess’s face is set within a breathtaking circular floral wreath — a complete circle of scrolling red and green vines with large stylised peacock / floral medallions at regular intervals and small leaf sprays filling the vine — the entire composition floating on the ombre blush pink and powder blue pastel ground. The ikat spike border frames the pallu on all sides, completing the composition in a grand, devotional sweep.
Comes with a deep red silk puff-sleeve V-neck blouse — a rich, auspicious red in a smooth silk weave scattered with self-tone dark ikat geometric square butis woven into the red ground in a subtle all-over pattern, featuring a deep V-neckline, dramatic short puff sleeves with a gathered head and the same ivory ikat-spike border band on the sleeve hem, and a structured silhouette. The red puff blouse with its ikat spike sleeve border is a perfectly coordinated companion — the same ikat spike vocabulary of the saree border echoed on the blouse sleeves, the puff sleeve giving it a romantic, bridal quality.
