Border: A distinctive Rettapet arrangement of two registers, alternating fine red and gold silk-thread lines with gold zari motif bands. The accents recall arakku lacquer red against the rich, dark silk.
Pallu: A densely worked deep-maroon ornamental pallu, where long parallel gold-zari patterned stripes and a richly detailed vertical panel produce a striking architectural rhythm.
Styling: Choose a close-fitting deep plum silk blouse with elbow sleeves and fine red piping, or a plain arakku-red blouse for contrast. Antique gold jhumkas, a low bun and a small cluster of jasmine keep the long zari lines and border in focus.
