Story 

The dank city streets suffocated her. Away from the reach of the known, they reminded her of purpose. But doesn’t purpose need fondness? “I will try to grow fond of this city; of its chaos and coldness.” Although she repeated this earnest promise to herself every morning, its effect died down by mid-day.

She belonged in the expanses. Across fields of golden rye. And ahead of humming butterflies.

She awaited that point in time when “going back” would no longer season her dreams. But, until then? Should she drown the noise and carry on?

 “No. All the things I yearn for, I choose to make them my souvenirs.”  

Stun like a washed monsoon day in this green saree made of Kota cotton, featuring hand-embroidered Chikankari work.  

Description

Kota cotton fabric is renowned for its softness, light weight and ease of wear. It is made using an open weave with fine checks, which are called ‘khats’. This weave ensures that the resultant fabric is airy and comfortable. This Kota cotton fabric forms the base of these sarees, which are further embellished with Lucknowi chikankari work. Chikankari is a style of embroidery that has its roots in Lucknow, the capital of Uttar Pradesh. The word 'chikan' is derived from the Persian word 'chikeen'. In its most traditional form, chikankari work reflects the influence of the intricate carving patterns found in Mughal architecture. The legacy of chikan work in Lucknow dates back to more than 200 years.
