About the Hand Painting

This dupatta is entirely hand-painted without any tracing — every line, motif, and figure is drawn freehand directly onto the fabric by the artisan. This makes each piece a truly singular work of art, carrying the artist’s individual touch in every stroke.

Washing & Care Instructions

• Dry clean only — strongly recommended to preserve the hand-painted artwork
• If hand washing is necessary, use cold water only with a very mild, colour-safe detergent
• Do not soak, scrub, or wring — gently swish and rinse
• Wash the painted side facing inward to protect the artwork
• Do not machine wash or tumble dry
• Dry in shade only — never in direct sunlight, which can fade natural pigments
• Lay flat or hang to dry; avoid folding while damp

Ironing Instructions

• Iron on reverse side only (painted side facing down on a soft cloth)
• Use low to medium heat — no steam directly on the painted surface
• Place a thin cotton cloth between the iron and the fabric at all times
• Do not iron directly over any painted area

Storage

• Store loosely rolled or folded in a muslin or cotton cloth — avoid plastic bags
• Keep away from direct sunlight and moisture

Dimensions and exact scene composition may vary slightly as each piece is individually handcrafted.
