Amidst the pomp and gaiety of the wedding ceremonies, the bridegroom seeks the maximum attention. To be at par, he wears this exquisite piece of fabric locally called Bukani or a sash. It is traditionally worn over the turban and under the chin and usually uses a red fabric. As the groom came by camel to his bride’s village for the wedding, the bukhani protected his tender skin and ears from the sandy winds. This fabric is embroidered in the style of the triangle ‘suf’ done in Sindh. It is counted on the warp and weft threads from the back and worked in satin stitch and square chain stitch. The motifs seen here are delicate geometric and are symmetrically set on the right and left parts of the sash. These motifs are of camels, peacock (mor) and flowers; all constructed with triangles of different sizes that seem like a play of intricate tangram. In between the pattern, small mirrors are set neatly that are believed to ward off the evil eye. Contrasting coloured threads of fine silk have been used here that give the sash a rich sheen.
