Border: A broad deep Arakku maroon border featuring large antique-gold zari peacock and paisley-inspired forms between finely stacked small floral registers, dotted bands and narrow green-accented lines.

Pallu: A grand contrasting deep-Arakku pallu with alternating slim gold-zari bands and deep red-maroon silk fields, echoing the ornamented border.

Styling: A maroon blouse makes the deep border the anchor of the look, while a plain Kathiripoo blouse keeps the upper drape airy. Gold jhumkas, a neat pleat and a single flower in the hair are enough for a festive ceremony.
