She’s here already? your mother asks, as you rush to the door — the scent of sambar, jasmine, and banana chips lingering in the air. And there it is: the saree that feels like Onam itself.
Handpainted on classic Kerala Kasavu, this Madhubani piece tells the story we all grew up hearing — the return of King Mahabali, welcomed with joy and devotion. Women gather around the banana tree, clad in festive warmth, just like we do every year. The border? A bold Kathakali face and banana leaves — echoing the rhythm of our land.
It’s not just a saree. It’s nostalgia draped in white and gold.
Katha Bali from our festive edit Onam Varnam is where tradition meets celebration. 🌿👑
This one-of-a-kind handpainted saree from Geetanjali tells the story of King Mahabali’s return, brought to life through women joyfully celebrating Onam — weaving vibrant Pookalams, sharing sweet Payasam, and embracing the festive spirit with open hearts.
The borders are adorned with Kathakali dancer faces and banana leaves, echoing the rich cultural rhythm of Kerala.
Bright, bold, and beautifully unique — this saree is our heartfelt tribute to the magic, memories, and colours of Onam. ✨
