About
A red-and-yellow hand block-printed cotton veil traditionally gifted to Kumaoni brides by their mothers, worn during weddings and auspicious ceremonies as a symbol of marital blessing.
Did you know? The cloth is traditionally printed using a paste of gram flour and turmeric rather than synthetic dye, and its border almost always carries swastika, sun, moon, and conch motifs representing prosperity and good fortune.
