Kasuti Palki Red Silk 16x16 Cushion Cover

It is wondrous how a joyous, social, festive, beautiful occasion in real life can be translated by a kaarigar into a thing of beauty. The ‘Pallakki Utsava’ is one of the celebrations where devotees carry the deity in the temple on a palanquin. In this Kasuti representation, you can observe men holding the sacred palanquin, carrying their beloved deity. The embroiderer uses Menthe Kasuti, a stitch variety of Kasuti hand embroidery. This is one expression of an artisans devotion. In tones of red, these 16x16 pure mulberry silk cushion covers also bear the stunning weaves of the region. The ‘sooji mallige’ motifs feel celebratory on the Palki cushion cover, the ‘Teru’ motifs on the Ratha cushion cover depicting the khunn version in contrast to the Kasuti version of the same subject, the chariot. So amazingly these elements come together to give us a glimpse into the lives of the people of the region, their skills and talent, their expression, their surroundings.

These products are not mere cushion covers but each one is a piece of art, a conversation starter, the pride of the land we come from. Each one tells a story from its birth to its maturity as a perfectly finished thing of beauty. Each has soul.

Coordinated plain back with lining and zipper fastener.
