This charming dress is handmade by artisans at our studio in Rajasthan with 100% organic cotton and natural indigo dye. The soft natural fabric breathes, making them ideal for warm weather and relaxed days. This lovely dress is highlighted by sleeping lotus flowers, ready to burst in the morning sun.
The magic of this dress lies in the handmade dabu printing. Dabu is an age-old process that has been perfected over generations in India. A local mud mixture is hand printed on natural cotton cloth using hand-cut wood block prints and left to dry. The cloth is then dipped into the natural indigo vat, where the area with the mud resists the dye, and the rest is colored a beautiful blue. After washing, the secret is revealed. Part of the beauty of dabu fabric lies in fact that each block is placed by the artisan’s hand - what is left behind is an imprint of the personality and character of the blockprinter. Slight variations are to be celebrated.
Fabric: 100% Organic Cotton
Size: This dress is relaxed with plenty of room to breathe.
Care: Fabrics with indigo tend to transfer color. We recommend washing before first usage to remove any surface dyes. Wash separately or with darker colors. Gentle machine wash recommended. Do not dry in the sun to avoid bleaching.

Chakras is an ancient concept and the word is derived from Sanskrit meaning ‘wheel.’ The chakras are aligned along the spine, starting from the base and moving all the way up to the top of your head. The background of fragmented colors depicts emptiness. This very unique piece displays Thapa's creativity in translating traditional subjects into modern style.

This graceful artwork by master artist Mukti Singh Thapa is of a temple to Shiva Linga. The linga is the representation of the god Shiva and an emblem of generative power. It is usually shown with the yoni – its feminine counterpart. Together, they symbolize the merging of microcosmos and macrocosmos, the divine eternal process of creation and regeneration, and the union of the feminine and the masculine that recreates all of existence. The linga is found in temples and shrines throughout Nepal and India. This piece, painted during his black and white period from 2005 - 2007, displays Thapa's mastery of the 13th - 16th century Newar Design style through its precise lines, and expert use of traditional iconography and immense creativity.
This original thangka, or paubha in Nepal, was painted in the traditional manner with handmade blank ink on primed cotton canvas. There is no white pigment used, meaning that even one small slip of the brush will force the artist to destroy the entire work. Additionally, in only painting with black ink, Mukti is painting the negative space with the plain canvas taking prominence. This method takes considerable concentration, and a painting of this size and complexity will take several months to compose and complete.
The original painting is available for a special art lover. Additionally, Mahakala Fine Arts has produced a Collector's Edition fine art print so that everyone can enjoy this museum quality work of art.
