Rati Gulnaar by Bloc a Main Atelier

Fabric & Colour
A luminous Pure Chanderi Silk drape, woven in radiant red and pink stripes, softened with a whisper of sheer translucency. The saree is graced by delicate floral motifs in silver zari, a timeless reminder of Mughal garden artistry.

Inspiration Story
The name Rati Gulnaar draws from the goddess of love and beauty, Rati, and Gulnaar, the deep crimson bloom of a flower. Together, they embody passion, tenderness, and feminine grace. This saree carries the romance of dusk skies glowing red, and the intimacy of blossoms kissed by moonlight. A poetic heirloom, it mirrors the grandeur of mehfils where music, ghazals, and shimmering silks once intertwined.

Weave Technique & Craft Details
This saree is woven in the centuries-old Chanderi weaving tradition, a craft nurtured since the Pratihara dynasty. Its hallmark lies in the sheer gossamer texture combined with rich zari ornamentation. Each floral buti is hand-picked with silver thread, creating a rhythmic interplay of light and shadow across the body of the fabric. The technique demands both precision and patience, as even the smallest motif must align seamlessly with the flowing stripes.

Craftsperson Name
Handwoven by Aminuddin, a master craftsman from Chanderi, who belongs to a lineage of weavers devoted to preserving this delicate art.

No. of Human Hours
The saree required 7 days of dedicated work, each moment reflecting devotion to craft and detail.
