The Maharani era was marked by gossamer tales of surreptitiously luxurious textiles. Designed by Alka Rani Singh, Rajkumari of Pratapgarh, Awadh, and handcrafted by artisans using traditional craft techniques, this decadent tissue saree has a tussar border and pallu that beautifully offset the delicateness of the saree.
