destiny
Countwise this is my 50th Saree on the pact.
The day was a very special one,it being the 5th Friday of the holy month of Shraavan.
I had decided on another Saree for the pooja, but ended up wearing this ultra classy kanjeevaram.
Until that day I wasn’t aware of its existence and my MIL had totally forgotten about it after buying it. YES! its at least 2 decades old. Isn’t this destiny? Trust me,I fell in love with it the moment I saw it sitting hidden at the bottom of the pile. Its a beeeautiful onion colored kanjeevaram with a green border,can be worn both ways. One side pallu is feisty with traditional motifs,the other pallu is quintessentially simple yet classy,can be worn when one wants to underplay the Saree. The picture was taken after all the rituals of the vaibhavlakshmi vrat pooja.
Therefore the drained out look on our faces. My AMMA(MIL) is also wearing her much worn silksaree,its a bright shade of blue with a maroon border.
