Elegant and artistic, this Ivory and Green Gulbahar saree is a hand embroidered Chanderi silk-cotton saree that brings together two beloved Indian embroidery traditions: kantha and phulkari. Fine kantha running-stitch outlines form scalloped borders and a grand mandala medallion on the pallu, while phulkari-inspired floral motifs in green, mustard yellow and maroon are scattered across the soft ivory body. The pallu is finished with playful pom-pom tassels (latkans) that sway with every step. Light, airy and festive, it is made for women who love colourful handwork with a touch of folk charm.

About the Gulbahar collection

Gulbahar means "spring of flowers". It is Silk Ethnics' collection of hand embroidered Chanderi silk-cotton sarees, with every motif hand embroidered on a light ivory Chanderi base. The richness comes from the handwork rather than heavy zari, so each saree feels special yet stays light to wear.

What are kantha and phulkari?

Kantha is a traditional hand embroidery from Bengal, made with fine running stitches that create outlines, borders and motifs. Phulkari, meaning "flower work", is a traditional floral embroidery from Punjab. On this saree, kantha stitch lines and phulkari-style floral motifs come together for a colourful, handcrafted look.

Where to wear this ivory and green saree

Wear it for Diwali, Navratri, Durga Puja, Baisakhi and Lohri, temple visits, pooja at home, mehendi and haldi functions, and family celebrations. Its cheerful colours also make it a lovely festive gift for a mother, sister or friend who loves handcrafted sarees.

How to style it

Festive and traditional: pair it with a bottle green or mustard blouse, gold-toned jhumkas, green glass bangles and a gajra.
Soft and elegant: choose an ivory blouse with layered pearls and pearl drops for a graceful pooja or day-function look.
Boho: wear a maroon or olive sleeveless blouse with oxidised silver jewellery, a macramé potli bag and kolhapuris to play up the folk charm of the tassels.

Each piece is a work of art which uniquely displays the craftsperson's skill. The beauty of handcrafted fabric is that no two pieces look exactly alike, and minute flaws are very common. The imperfections can be anything from an uneven yarn to a slight variation in the embroidery. The beauty of an original handcrafted saree lies in its imperfections.

Pls note that there may be a mild colour variation in the saree due to colour reproduction in camera and screen.

This Ivory and Green Gulbahar saree combines two hand embroidery traditions, kantha and phulkari, on a light Chanderi silk-cotton base, with a mandala medallion on the pallu and pom-pom tassels at its edge.

How do I care for this hand embroidered saree? Dry clean only, including the first wash. Iron on low heat on the reverse side, avoiding direct heat on the embroidery.
