Chaandbali Ganesh Medley: Vermillion Pichwai + Kamal Bandhej
DETAILS IN DETAIL: Our IBHI is made using historic-heritage textiles of India, so of course this IBHI has its own history, not very old though. This IBHI was designed and created as a Rangoli during the festive season, yet it evolved as a multi-purpose and versatile Platter. It is a stand alone single piece beauty, it has two different sides, it is covered in flat digital print on both sides with solid silk rim, which makes it two-sided. The basal diameter of this Platter is 9.5 inches, it is firm and sturdy. The Platter has 24 tassels on the periphery which are hand-sewn on at the base, the spherical beads are made on pine wood with cylindrical translucent beads wrapped inside out. Each sphere has a bunch of 85 fibre based dull golden beads. Along with the tassles, the total diameter of the Platter is 11.5 inches.
The Platter has a small loop made using silk chandan thread, which is small enough to not be visible but strong enough to hold the entire Platter when hung on a wall as decor. Flat on a surface or suspended on a wall, this Platter is ultra versatile.
