About Me
Real Silver Zaari Silk in glamorous fuchsia pink mekhela sador is certainly more than just a mere craft. Every mekhala sador is intertwined with a folktale, transforming it into a symbol of culture, tradition, peace, and unity. The traditional motif of the sacred mora sorai ( peacock) has been used to narrate a tale of the bygone times which the Gora of Assam and Khasi of Meghalaya still narrate. The richness of this exquisite artwork required 400 man-hours of weaving to elevate the wearer's charm. Sereki’s every mekhela sador relates to a folktale, transforming it into a symbol of culture, tradition, peace and unity of Assam. The traditional motif of the mora sorai (peacock) has been intentionally used to narrate a tale of the sacred past which Gora of Assam and Khasi of Meghalaya still narrate.

 |
Never hand-wash or machine-wash a silk mekhela sador. |
 |
In case the mekhela sador gets stained, immediately wipe the stain off with cold water. |
 |
It is advisable to only dry-clean silk mekhela sadors. |
 |
Never hang a silk mekhela sador to dry in direct sunlight as doing so will cause the color to fade. |
 |
Don’t keep the mekhela sador bundled up as this will result in the threads of the embroidery work getting entangled. |
 |
Store the mekhela sador in a light cotton muslin cloth. This will give the mekhela sador breathing space and will prevent one mekhela sador from sticking to another when kept in a pile. |
 |
Don’t store the mekhela sador in a plastic cover as this will cause the gold embroidery to turn black. |
