Gaja Vaibhava Lehenga Ilkal Silk with Woven Elephant Motifs

Simha Siri - The Splendour of the Lion Throne

From the Simha Siri collection  an ode to Karnataka's royal heritage, where the lion stands for courage, the elephant for grace, and the loom for an unbroken lineage of craft. Each piece in this collection is woven with the grandeur of Deccan courts and the intimacy of the artisan's hand.

This bridal lehenga is the heart of Simha Siri. Every panel of the magenta silk skirt carries hand-woven gold zari motifs of elephants, peacocks, and flowering vines, arranged in a grid of checks that gives the fabric an almost architectural rhythm. The flora and fauna motifs are drawn from Karnataka's rich weaving heritage, where the loom has always been a storyteller.

The wide hem border is dense with gold zari elephant processions  a motif of auspiciousness and grandeur, perfect for a bridal occasion. The corset blouse is hand-embroidered in gold threadwork, with a dramatic lace-up open back. The dupatta is sheer organza in deep wine, scattered with hand-embroidered gold butti motifs and finished with a wide embroidered border.
