Design and Print: The saree is a striking example of Ajrakh-inspired block printing, utilizing a sophisticated monochrome palette of black, cream, and charcoal grey. The body is densely decorated with various hand-blocked patterns, including a wide panel near the pleats featuring folk-inspired motifs of animals and human figures, which adds a storytelling element to the garment.
Fabric: The drape and finish suggest a high-quality silk-cotton or Chanderi silk blend. This fabric choice provides a graceful fall and a subtle, natural sheen that enhances the intricate black-and-white print.
The Pallu and Borders: The saree is framed by distinct geometric borders. The "pallu" (the end piece) features bold, wave-like horizontal patterns and traditional floral "buta" blocks, finished with elegant black tassels that provide a rhythmic movement to the look.
Styling and Accessories: The saree is paired with a modern full-sleeved black blouse with a deep V-neckline, which balances the complexity of the saree's print. The look is accessorized with oxidized silver jewelry, including a chunky choker and traditional bell-shaped jhumkas, creating a perfect fusion of ethnic roots and contemporary style.
