The body is woven in deep raspberry-pink pure mulberry silk, a saturated colour with exceptional clarity and warmth. Individually spaced gold zari buttas alternate between petite floral medallions and stylised ornamental forms, allowing generous areas of the luminous silk to remain visible.

The traditional Rettapet border is arranged through twin gold zari registers filled with prominent Mayil motifs, scrolling floral vines and fine geometric detailing. The pallu becomes considerably richer with long vertical zari bands and ornamental woven forms. A narrow orange-red silk selvedge traces the edge, bringing a crisp tonal contrast to the raspberry pink and gold.

Styling suggestion: Style it with a plain orange-red raw-silk blouse that deliberately picks up the selvedge. Add polished-gold jhumkas and a single slim bangle stack while leaving the neckline unadorned. Wear the pallu open over the shoulder so the repeated Mayil registers remain visible, finishing with a clean centre-parted low bun.
