Simple is beautiful, in today's fast paced
life of constantly trying to better each other, there is no space to accept
simplicity. Be it in clothes, food or our life choices we are trying to dazzle
the people around us.
What we seem to forget
is there is a grace in simplicity which overshadows the most embellished piece
of cloth. It stands tall with its clean lines and solid color making its
pristine existence drown out all the other noise.
This being my what to
wear for the Ganpati Festival series the theme is "Simplicity with
Panache" one of the sarees that absolutely fits this bill is the
"Ilkal Saree"
This is a Ilkal in cotton fabric
Ilkal Saree takes its name from the town of Ilkal in the
Bagalkot district of Karnataka state.
Ilkal sarees are woven using cotton warp on the body and art silk warp
for border and art silk warp for the Pallu.
This purple hue with a red border is simply stunning. Silver
jewelry worn with it will make you look like a goddess form yesteryear
This is An Ilkal saree with Kasuti designs embroidered on it
The most distinctive feature of the Ilkal Sree is the use of a form of
embroidery called Kasuti. The designs used in kasuti reflect traditional
patterns like palanquins, elephants and lotuses. These sarees are usually nine yards
in length and the pallu of the Ikal saree carries designs of temple towers. The
end region of the pallu is made up of pattens of different shapes like hanige
(comb), Koti Kammli (fort ramparts), toputenne (jowar) and rampa(mountain
range).
The dark pink with a temple border is elevates the saree to a occasion wear
The peacock blue with a bright orange border will look divine on any complexion
This is the traditional green with a lovely contrasting purple border one of my favorites
I have absolutely loved
the collection that Ajio has curated of their Ilkal Sarees and surely recommend
the purchase for the price range they offer.
