Calcutta silks are light and flirtatious. This superb pink number has been fashioned from silk and embroidered in the famous kantha style of the region. Kantha on silk makes for a highly desirable work of fashion, and such a saree could be worn to weddings and parties as well as to ritual gatherings. The intricate running stitches that you see on the field of this saree have been painstakingly done by hand by local Bengali artisans, the gold of the thread shimmering as much as the pink of the foundation silk. Zoom in on the same, as well as on the thickly embroidered border, to take in the beauty of this kantha saree.
