Soft Handwoven Bhagalpuri Silk Saree with Hand-Painted Madhubani Tussar Gicha Pallu

A sunnier take on the same handcrafted classic — this Soft Handwoven Bhagalpuri Silk Saree comes in a vibrant mustard yellow body, paired with a hand-painted Madhubani pallu on natural Tussar Gicha. Instead of peacock medallions, this pallu is centred around a single radiating starburst mandala — concentric rings of triangles and diamonds in coral, blue, teal, and orange spiralling out from a central point. The mandala is framed by a scalloped wave border in blue and orange, hand-drawn florals with tiny birds tucked into the corners, and finished with a row of pink triangular drops along the hem.

The bold mustard body brings a completely different energy to the same craftsmanship — warm, festive, and eye-catching — while the pallu keeps its intricate, artisan hand-painted detail.

Product Description

This version of the saree trades the soft coral body for a striking mustard yellow, giving the same handwoven Bhagalpuri silk a bolder, more festive presence on the shoulder. The plain yellow field is left uninterrupted, so all attention naturally settles on the pallu — and this one is designed to hold it.

At the centre of the pallu is a large hand-painted starburst, built from concentric rings of triangles, diamonds, and spirals in coral pink, cobalt blue, teal, and orange — a dense, mandala-like burst of colour and pattern that anchors the entire design. Around it, the corners are filled with delicate floral vines and tiny hand-drawn birds mid-flight, while a scalloped wave border in alternating blue and orange runs along all four sides, framing the mandala like a painted window. The pallu is finished with a thin gold zari line and a row of pink triangular drops along the very edge, echoing the geometric theme of the centrepiece.

As with every piece in this style, the pallu is entirely hand-painted by artisans — no two are ever identical, and small variations in linework and colour placement are part of what makes each saree a genuine, one-of-a-kind piece.

Styling Tip

Let the mustard body and starburst pallu take the lead — pair with antique gold jewellery, a maroon or teal blouse to pull colour from the pallu, and minimal accessories to keep the look festive without competing with the artwork.
