Purple Lambani Embroidered Saree

Amongst all the nomadic tribes of India, it is the Lambanis who have probably retained the most elaborate outfits of all. Almost all these communities moved from Central Asia through Afghanistan or Kashmir into Rajasthan, Gujarat, and the South of India

Lambani embroidery uses a total of fourteen types of stitches, namely – Kilan, Vele, Bakkya, Maki, Suryakanti Maki, Kans, Tera Dora, Kaudi, Relo, Gadri, Bhuriya, Pote, Jollya, and Nakra. Most of the stitches follow a geometric pattern like squares, circles, triangles, rectangles, diagonal and parallel lines. Additionally, beads, small cowrie shells, and even low denomination coins are held together in a garland of stitches that embellish the edges of a piece.

This solid Purple cotton saree is embellished with elaborate Lambani Embroidery on Pallu and Borders. It has mirror work on the body & Tassel work.
