The sari itself comes in a brown color, with a hint of green that is visible with the fall of light. The body has small checks woven with biscuit colored threads. From a distance it looks like Kantha stitch, but only on closer look can one find out that it is woven. The border is fantastic with beautifully carved features of peacocks dancing as if to welcome the rain. The form of the peacock and its wings easily merges with the floral pattern on the border. The pallav of the sari has rows of peacocks and alternating floral patterns that are large but ornately woven as if it were some fine sculpture. The beauty of Indian weaves is that the motifs it employs finds expression in many other art forms like architecture, painting and even dance.
