Mustard Yellow Madhubani Print Tussar Ghicha Silk Saree – Bhagalpuri Handloom

Haldi

Turmeric gold through the body, a clean red border, and a pallu that turns into a painting — a full Mithila wedding procession in colour, read from one end to the other.

About the work

The pallu and border carry a Madhubani print in the bharni style — the colour-filled tradition, where bold black outlines are packed with red, ochre, yellow and green rather than left as line alone. A bride sits at the centre under a canopy; around her, attendants, musicians and a palanquin move through registers of leaf, flower and cross-hatch fill. Bharni is the more festive of the Mithila styles, and this is festive subject matter to match.

About the fabric

Tussar Ghicha silk, handwoven in Bhagalpur. Ghicha is the yarn drawn from the outer layers of the cocoon and spun by hand — hence the slubby, uneven texture and the soft matte lustre rather than a flat shine. It holds turmeric particularly well; the slub catches light and the colour shifts between gold and amber as you move.

A note on handloom

Each piece is woven individually, so slight irregularities in the slub and small variations in how the print falls across the weave are characteristic of the craft rather than defects. Colour may vary a little from your screen.
