Hand painted on Silk using natural dyes, Kalam Kari is a stunning art form from the coastal regions around Pondicherry and Chennai. The artisans paint the designs straight onto the silk cloth and use fermented buffalo milk to fix the dyes used.
This beautiful collection was bought from the artist who made them. He was paid his asking price.
They can be worn as a shawl or dupatta, but also are fabulous as a textile in your home, on the wall or on the end of the bed as seen in the pictures.
