I went with my parents to handloom haveli (Kolkata) to buy a couple of south silks for my mother and chanced upon a golden cream Venkatgiri saree. My mother went ecstatic and insisted it be bought for me. I was reluctant but it was one of the few we bought. First opportunity (a friend’s wedding) and I wore it. It was so light, easily manageable and lovely against the skin. It looked beautiful and I felt the same.
