Hamrang Magenta Kota Saree
Kota cotton silk is woven open, so this magenta is a colour light passes through. Tepchi is what Malti is known for in Chowk, and she hand embroidered it along the vines in Lucknow, phanda tying the small flowers between them into raised knots. Thread and ground are one magenta, the meaning of Hamrang, 5.5 metres in 77.4% cotton and 15.6% silk, and no cloth for a blouse.

The stitches
- Phanda (knot)Tight millet-seed knots placed one by one to build jasmine buds and flower centres.
- Tepchi (running)The swift running stitch laid along the printed motif, the ground on which every other stitch is built.
How to wear it
- Magenta carries this saree by itself, so anything worn with it is easier kept out of the pink range than matched to a shade this saturated.
- The embroidery reads a shade lighter than its ground and never as another colour, so daylight gives more of this saree than a lamp across a room.
