Behind this piece
Amritsar has long been a crossroads of craft, where Punjabi textile traditions absorbed Mughal ornamentation and made it their own. Gota patti, the art of applying metallic ribbon-work onto fabric, flourished across the courts of Rajasthan and Punjab alike, finding its most festive expression in dupattas and odhanis meant for weddings and celebrations. This piece carries that inheritance forward: a chevron arrangement of gota work plays against a dual-shaded art silk ground, while a scalloped border frames the whole in a gesture that feels simultaneously architectural and lyrical. Heritage, worn lightly.
How to style
Drape this dupatta over an ivory or blush anarkali for a mehendi or sangeet, letting the multicolour shimmer do the speaking. For a more restrained daytime look, loop it loosely over a kurta-palazzo set in deep teal or burnt amber, anchoring the palette at the base. At a festive family gathering, pin it across one shoulder over a silk saree blouse for an unconventional layered silhouette. Complement with polki or kundan ear studs rather than a full set, and finish with block-heeled mojaris. The scalloped border frames the face beautifully when worn as a head covering.
Fabric & care
Art silk carries the lustre of pure silk but requires equally considered care. Hand wash gently in cold water with a mild, pH-neutral detergent, keeping the gota patti sections as dry as possible for as long as possible. Do not wring or twist; instead, press the fabric between two clean towels to absorb excess water. Dry flat in shade, away from direct sunlight, which can shift the delicate multicolour tones. Store folded in a soft muslin cloth, never in plastic. A light steam iron on a low setting, applied from the reverse side, will restore the drape beautifully.
