Product Story & Artistry

Ratri Kamal embodies the allure of contrast where darkness meets light, and tradition meets timeless charm. The saree’s deep black body sets a dramatic backdrop for the red pallu, hand block printed with delicate lotus motifs that represent purity and grace.

Each print is manually pressed using wooden blocks carved by artisans from generations of Maheshwari craft families. The silk cotton weave lends a natural sheen and featherlight drape, making it perfect for evening gatherings, festive occasions, or moments that demand quiet sophistication.

Did You Know?

The lotus has been a recurring motif in Indian textile heritage for centuries, a symbol of rebirth, resilience, and divine beauty. In Maheshwari hand block printing, artisans often use natural pigments derived from iron rust and plant roots to create the red hues that age gracefully with time.
