Deep Purple Silk Mekhela Chador with Golden Zari Border

Description

Deep Purple Silk Mekhela Chador with Golden Zari Border — a rich deep purple silk body with scattered zari butis, finished with a wide golden zari border and gold 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, giving it a soft sheen and a graceful fall that holds its pleats beautifully.

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 purple tones and the woven border do the talking.
