2. A Legacy of Craftsmanship

The Dabu Kalamkari Modal Silk Saree is a tribute to two of India’s most revered textile arts. Kalamkari, originating over 3,000 years ago in Andhra Pradesh, uses a bamboo pen (kalam) to hand-paint intricate stories from epics like the Ramayana and Mahabharata. Dabu printing, a mud-resist technique from Rajasthan, involves stamping patterns with a clay-resist paste before dyeing—creating mesmerizing, crackled effects.

Shanmuga Priya & Azhagi revives these endangered crafts by partnering directly with artisan clusters, ensuring fair wages and preserving generational knowledge. Each saree is a wearable heirloom—steeped in history, yet designed for the modern Indian woman.
