Yeah, the pallu design found in the saree on the right is curious to say the least. It almost appears hieroglyphic-like, and eminds me a bit of Australian Aboriginal art to some degree…or the Nazca lines…or something.
the right is a bandhni sari, surprised no one on this blog knew that
It is just that the design on the rest of the saree looks so regular – like woven patterns, which aren’t usually paired with random tied elements that look very free-form. The juxtaposition might not look so strange if we could see the actual saree; if the whole thing really is bandhni, but didn’t look that way in this image. I have got several pretty bandhnis in my collection, and they do not have “buti” arranged in perfect rows anywhere on the textiles.
Inteesting. Is this all embroidered?
