Aakasha: White & blue Dhaniakhali fish motif cotton saree
'Aakasha' saree, with a color combination of white and blue gives a soothing and elegant appeal, reminiscent of the tranquil waters and clear skies.
The saree features a base of pristine white interspersed with stripes of blue, grey, and black, running throughout the body. The broader stripes are adorned with large fish motifs woven in grey threads, stretching across the entire length of the saree. These fish motifs carry profound cultural significance.
Fish, especially in Bengali culture, symbolize prosperity, fertility, and abundance. By incorporating fish motifs, the saree celebrates the region's connection to water bodies and its reliance on fish as a vital part of life and livelihood.
The Dhaniakhali saree has been awarded the Geographical Indication (GI) tag by the Indian government, which recognizes its unique origin and traditional craftsmanship.
