The dupatta is painted at both ends with a\u003cbr\u003eflowering pot sending up branches — the tree-of-life composition that recurs\u003cbr\u003ethrough Mithila work — bordered by running bands of lotus rosettes and paired\u003cbr\u003eleaves. Small single motifs are scattered sparingly across the open ground of\u003cbr\u003eboth pieces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo techniques sit side by side here, as they do in traditional Mithila\u003cbr\u003epainting. The black forms are worked in kachni, built up from fine parallel\u003cbr\u003ehatching rather than solid colour. The red forms are bharni, filled in flat.\u003cbr\u003eThe contrast between the hatched and the filled shapes is what gives the\u003cbr\u003epainting its depth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGhicha yarn is drawn from the outer layers of the tussar cocoon and spun by\u003cbr\u003ehand, so the thread comes off the spindle uneven — thicker in one stretch,\u003cbr\u003efiner in the next. Woven up, that unevenness reads across the cloth as fine\u003cbr\u003eslubs and soft striations, with a matte lustre rather than a shine. The beige\u003cbr\u003eis the natural colour of the cocoon itself; nothing has been dyed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDETAILS\u003cbr\u003eFabric: Pure handloom tussar ghicha silk (kurta and dupatta), plain tan bottom\u003cbr\u003eKurta panel: 2.50 m\u003cbr\u003eDupatta: 2.25 m\u003cbr\u003eBottom: 2.00 m\u003cbr\u003eWork: Hand painted Madhubani — kachni and bharni, coral red and charcoal\u003cbr\u003eColour: Natural undyed beige with tan bottom\u003cbr\u003eDupatta finish: Fringed at both ends\u003cbr\u003eCare: Dry clean only. Store folded in cotton muslin, away from direct sun.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach piece is painted individually, so small variations between one set and\u003cbr\u003ethe next are part of the work rather than a fault.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCRAFT NOTE\u003cbr\u003eTussar ghicha is spun and woven in and around Bhagalpur in Bihar, on pit and\u003cbr\u003eframe looms worked by hand. Madhubani painting comes from the Mithila region\u003cbr\u003eof the same state — a wall-and-floor tradition carried by women for\u003cbr\u003egenerations, moved onto cloth and paper in the last century.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54087674396856,"sku":null,"price":4900.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/1701\/8040\/files\/02-3_24a4b7c1-b095-4711-a046-106e207bcf5e.jpg?v=1789224045","url":"https:\/\/soumyata.com\/products\/hand-painted-madhubani-tussar-ghicha-silk-unstitched-suit-beige-red","provider":"Soumyata.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
