The princess is dressed in an ivory silk dhoti and breastband, woven in with gold booties studded with rubies and emeralds. Her ample hair is coiled in a tall pile on the top of her head, and held in place by a number of pure gold pins and ornaments. On the other hand, her humble lady-in-waiting is dressed according to her station - simple white choli with a solid pink lehenga, and unassuming gold ornaments on her relatively duskier skin. The thick plait of her long hair grazes her thigh.
The lady-in-waiting looks deep into the eyes of her mistress, trying to understand the full import of the goings-on over her heart. The princess looks into the distance, trying her best to capture every detail from that tumultuous memory. Note how her delicate hand is raised mid-air, as if caught in some minor detail of the exchange.
The sheer proportion of zari that has gone into the finish of this saree makes this a glamorous number. Luxuriant motifs in gold thread cover every square inch of the field of this saree, including the pleats. The border is thick; it features a closely woven zigzag pattern and a panel of carefully arranged flowers in matching gold zari. The most gorgeous aspect of this saree is the solid weave at the hem of the endpiece, an extension of the fiery zigzag pattern of the border.
Introducing the colorful beauty of Gujarati culture, this cotton long skirt has everything that will enhance your elegance and ethnic fashion style. It is a typical Kutch ghagra or long skirt woven on bright pastel colored cotton fabric. The weaver has given it a voluminous style, controlled beautifully by multiple pleats starting slightly below the belt and continues till the end. It is designed with multicolored thread embroidery at the waist and at the bottom forming thick rectangular strips and a temple design above it. This embroidery is channelled in beautiful diamond shaped patterns having mirrors studded in-between. The first glance to this skirt takes us through the Gujarati fashion art and the expert weavers weaving such masterpieces.

Clearly she is the daughter of a landowning aristocrat. She is dressed in a sumptuous silk lehenga coated with ample gold brocade. A necklace of rubies and emeralds graces her smooth neck and gorgeous glass bangles jingle at her delicate wrists. An expression of pure bliss characterises her plump, youthful face. Her thick black tresses are let loose against the ardour of the breeze she so loves.
The hills in the background feature a diverse yet natural colour palette, probably owing to the perennial fog that descends on the Western Ghats. Note how the pale, barely-there infusion of colour in the skies betrays the dawn.
It is a standing figure of Lord Hanuman, His palms joined together in namaskaram. He stands on a richly engraved green and yellow pedestal. The complexion of His body is a bright, rugged tan. It befits the yogic musculature of His form, as revealed rather than concealed by the ornamental loincloth that reaches mid-thigh. A number of blue and green sashes descend laterally from His tall, erect form. Kusuma-kundalas and a multi-tiered crown completes the Lord’s shringar. Note how the face has been done with a rudimentary attention to detail, given that it is not an icon but a temple sculpture.
The most unique aspect of this composition is His tail. He is swishing it behind His back, high above His head, forming an aureole-like curve around His haloed head.
