Black & Magenta Silk Cotton Mekhela Chador with Woven Border

Description

Black & Magenta Silk Cotton Mekhela Chador with Woven Border — a black silk-cotton body with magenta woven motifs, framed by a bold magenta and cream patterned border with tassels.

The Mekhela Chador (also written mekhela sador) is the traditional two-piece drape of Assam: the mekhela is pleated and worn at the waist, while the chador is draped over the shoulder. This piece is woven in silk cotton, giving it an easy, breathable drape that stays comfortable through long festive days.

A natural choice for Bihu, weddings, pujas and family celebrations, and equally at home at an office function or a daytime gathering. Wear it with traditional gold jhumkas and a simple bun to let the black tones and the woven border do the talking.
