A night’s play

“It was moonless that night. From the distant dark theatre, a play began to unravel. It began with a song from the stars— gentle and twinkling. Then, completely unexpected for a night so clear, came a flash of lightning. It danced wildly, yet silently, across the whole arena; A sign of looming April— the month of rainless summer lightning. The stars continued to twinkle their melody, and the lightning returned again and again, wilder and wilder yet. Soon, it became clear. A cosmic ballad between the stars and the lightning, arranged so beautifully in a pattern so perfect, that you have no choice but to credit it to the master composer of the universe herself.”

This gorgeous black and gold kurta is from Benaras. We absolutely love its handwoven geometric pattern evoking a night sky with a spectacular show of lights. It has a great narrow cut that lends to contemporary styling. In wonderful handwoven cotton, it’s as crisp as a summer night. Seen here styled with incredibly comfortable Sonam Dubal silk pants.
