Fuchsia-Rose Zari-Woven Fusion Baluchari Sari from Bengal

This gorgeous silk saree would be the perfect addition to one, what with the luxuriant coat of gold zari woven against the apt blush-pink of the dye of the base fabric. Both the zariworked paisleys and the miniscule surface areas of silk amidst them shimmer with the motions of the wearer. 
What makes this a true Baluchari number is the one-of-a-kind enpiece that, characteristically enough, tells a story. A purple border transition into dark blue over the all-important pleats then concludes in a statement maroon endpiece. Super-skilled zariwork on the border and the endpiece show moments of Radha-Krishna's togetherness, and Vrindavan gopies singing and dancing to the memory of their Krishna.
