Narthaki - Mangalagiri Semi Silk Tanjore Handpainted Saree with Silver Temple Zari Border

This Lavender Mangalagiri Semi Silk Tanjore Handpainted Saree is a sublime expression of tradition blended with soft, contemporary elegance. Woven in authentic Mangalagiri semi silk, the saree carries a naturally crisp texture with a gentle sheen, making it both graceful and comfortable.

The soothing lavender–mauve base acts as a serene canvas for intricate handpainted Tanjore art motifs. The body of the saree features delicately spaced traditional temple birds, inspired by annapakshi and peacock forms—symbols of prosperity, grace, and spiritual harmony. These motifs are meticulously handpainted, lending each saree a unique, artisanal identity.

The borders unfold a richer narrative. Adorned with ornamental paisley (mango) motifs intertwined with lotus florals and creepers, the handpainted border reflects classical South Indian temple art. The vibrant yet balanced palette—teal, antique gold, coral, mustard, and soft pink—creates a striking contrast against the lavender base without overpowering its elegance.

A finely woven silver temple zari border frames the saree, featuring traditional triangular temple patterns that echo sacred architecture and add a subtle shimmer. The pallu is the showstopper, richly decorated with continuous handpainted motifs, enhancing the saree’s grandeur and making it ideal for festive and ceremonial occasions.

Finished with a pure one-metre blouse piece, this saree is a timeless heirloom-worthy creation for lovers of handcrafted textiles.
