Ibha: White and red elephant motif Dhaniakhali saree
This red and white "Ibha" saree is a striking piece that harmoniously combines the color red, symbolizing power, love, and auspiciousness, with white, representing purity, peace, and new beginnings. This color combination is deeply rooted in Indian culture, making the saree a perfect choice for both festive occasions and everyday wear.
What sets this saree apart is the intricate stripes made of elephant motifs woven along its length. Elephants are symbols of strength, wisdom, and good fortune and their presence on the saree adds a layer of positive energy and desirability.
