A saree close to my heart. This saree design goes by the name – kutrala kuravanji- a saree that Rukmini Devi Arundale wore for her dance drama of the same name in the early 50s. I recreated this design for my mother for her 75th birthday 11 years ago. A phenomenal weaver did this for me. He used to weave for Rukmini Devi and Indira Gandhi-A man who used to draw designs just out of memory. My mother is old and unable to wear sarees anymore and the weaver is no more. It isan unusual yellow called Pashu Manjal with beautiful parrots on the pallu. The saree my daughter Kavya is wearing is my wedding saree.
