Experience the beauty of this pure Eri silk saree in indigo, a surefire head turner! Finely embellished with Xingho (lion) motifs, the newest addition to our design vocabulary, and complemented by aesthetically woven pahar (hill) motifs in turmeric Eri silk, this gorgeous drape is the hallmark of Assam's finest craftsmanship.
Our Xingho design draws inspiration from the Satras of Majuli - the hub of Neo-Vaishnavite culture. The entryways of these Satras or monasteries are flanked by mythical lion-like animals to keep watch and were historically placed to ward off any negative energies. You will find them poised with a ferocious stance, up on their front paws or with one up in the air, ready to attack. They were said to symbolise good luck, safety and protection for the inhabitants of the spaces they defend.
