Imagine a saree that captures the essence of divine love. Pichwai sarees do just that. Inspired by Pichhwai paintings, these sarees depict scenes from the life of Lord Krishna, particularly his childhood. Originating from Nathdwara in Rajasthan, Pichhwai paintings are intricate works of art traditionally made on cloth or paper. Transformed onto silk sarees at Vastranand, these vibrant motifs showcase the playful charm of Lord Krishna and bring a touch of devotional grace to the wearer.

  1. Pochampally: A Symphony of Ikat

Hailing from Pochampally village in Telangana, Pochampally sarees are a celebration of the Ikat weaving technique. Ikat involves dyeing yarns before weaving, creating mesmerizing geometric patterns that appear almost woven into the fabric itself. At Vastranand, we offer a curated selection of Pochampally sarees known for their vibrant colours, intricate geometric designs, and the use of silk and cotton. Whether it's a classic double ikat with intricate motifs or a contemporary take with bolder colours, a Pochampally saree from Vastranand is sure to turn heads.

The elaborate motifs, from floral designs to brocade patterns, are a testament to the skill of generations of weavers. Vastranand offers a collection of authentic Banarasi sarees, considered heirlooms, perfect for special occasions like weddings and festivals.

Kalamkari sarees are more than just garments; they're mobile works of art. This centuries-old art form from Andhra Pradesh involves hand-painting or block-printing intricate designs and narratives onto fabric, usually cotton or silk. The natural dyes used, like indigo and turmeric, lend an earthy elegance to the sarees. Kalamkari motifs often depict scenes from mythology, folklore, and nature, making each saree a unique conversation starter.
