Aabha – Wedding Dress (Long Tunic).
A rare and elegant Aabha (Wedding Dress), crafted from fine silk with a beautiful Bandhani (tie-dyed resist) technique created by meticulously tying thousands of tiny knots by hand.
The magnificent neckline is richly adorned with real silver-gold plated zari Mughlai (Zardozi) embroidery on luxurious satin silk, reflecting the opulence of traditional bridal attire.
This ceremonial dress was worn by the Memon Muslim trader community of the Abdasa region, Kutch, Gujarat, India, and represents the exceptional textile heritage of western India.
