Bangalore Silk Kalamkari Dupatta Cream Figurative Border
Rows of dark script across a cream ground give this Ramayana-themed Pen Kalamkari Bangalore silk dupatta its distinctive manuscript-like appearance. Small groups of painted figures and individual motifs interrupt the lettering, within a warm ochre border.
Script interspersed with figurative scenes
Crowned figures stand together in one group, while another arrangement brings seated and standing figures into a separate vignette. A flowering tree, a conch-shaped motif and a circular decorative emblem create pauses between the rows of script. Muted pink, blue, green and yellow details keep these illustrations distinct against the pale background.
The Kalamkari artwork is hand-drawn and hand-painted on Bangalore silk. At the end, a scrolling floral band adds pink, blue and yellow flowers with pendant-shaped details below. Wear it over a plain kurta with the cream field spread open to display the relationship between the lettering and the illustrations.
