#6 Flora Mannequin
“Why do these mannequins not have a head?” was a query from my son as he watched me check out sarees on an online site. Because people visit this site for the sarees and not to see the models, was my reply, as I realized only then (engrossed as I was in the lovely handloom sarees on display) that most of the pictures were only neck down.

So here is my “no head” picture 🙂 in a purple soft silk saree with a vibrant hand painted floral design.

I loved this saree when I first saw it at an exhibition, and I still love it, but somehow this is a color that I don’t like after I have worn it 🙁 This is the second saree that I own in this very shade; the first has remained folded and forgotten for several years, and this second acquisition is being draped now for the first time after almost 3 years since I bought it. So thanks to the saree pact, that made me look anew at all my sarees, and to finally bring out this floral wonder.
