The piece in detail
What is woven into it
The motif is the paisley, kalka, woven in golden-orange zari. Each paisley holds a round, wheel-like rosette medallion with fine radiating detail, and the tall paisleys on the mekhela curl at the tip.
The sador is soft rose-pink, scattered with small magenta square buti and edged with a slim golden-orange zari border of tiny florets. Its end carries a band of zari paisleys with rosette medallions and finishes in magenta tassels.
The mekhela is a vivid magenta-pink, dotted all over with tiny zari diamond buti. Its lower half is filled with tall zari paisleys, each set with a rosette medallion, in rows that alternate in direction above a golden-orange zari hem.
Occasion & styling
For pujas, festivals, weddings and receptions, and family celebrations. Wear it with a gold-beige blouse, as shown, or a magenta silk blouse that matches the mekhela.
How to wear a mekhela sador
The mekhela goes on first: step into it, draw it up to the waist, fold the pleats at the front and tuck them in. Then the sador: one end tucked in at the waist, taken round, and the rest carried across the front and over the left shoulder.
The film ends on the gold worn with it: the pendant, the ring, the earrings and the cuff.
The object
The sador and the mekhela are two different colours on purpose. The rose-pink is a shot weave, so it moves between pink and lilac as it turns.

Care
- Dry clean only, and tell the cleaner it is Paat with zari.
- Never machine-wash it or leave it to soak: zari can dull when it gets damp.
- Press it on the reverse at a low setting, with a cotton cloth between the iron and the golden-orange zari.
- Fold it in muslin or cotton, never plastic, away from damp and direct sun, and refold it along new lines every few months.
- Keep perfume and deodorant off the cloth.
