This is a rust organza Maheshwari dupatta. It features hand block printed paisley motifs across the body, zari borders and leaf motifs on the rest two sides. The town of Maheshwar was established by Queen Ahilya Bai in Madhya Pradesh, India. The intricately carved stone walls of her palace and temple are the inspiration behind the patterns found on Maheshwari textiles. Woven with fine silk and cotton, Maheshwaris are usually plain, but some display floral or geometric patterns, stripes and checks. Motifs like Guldasta, Aambuta, Chatai Kinar, Bel Phool, Hansa, Mayur adorn it. This royal Indian fabric is famous for its strength, elasticity and matchless sheen.
