Earthy designs

ETHNIC AND subdued... that is what Kalamkari and vegetable dyes are all about. The traditional motifs and earthy hues have caught the imagination of many a fashion guru and the style-conscious.

Maurya, on Nungambakkam High Road, has on offer a stunning range of dhurries with eyecatching patterns.

Specially made in Warangal, in Andhra Pradesh, the floor coverings come in convenient sizes, to suit your rooms. Basic blues, radiant reds, turmeric yellows and pristine whites... all blend together to create beautiful dhurries that could go well with any setting.

The floral and geometric designs are neatly executed, especially since it is quite a difficult task to do so on a course base. An easy alternative to expensive and heavy carpets, the dhurries are perfect for both hot and cold floors and very easy on the feet. Maintenance is easy too. All you need to do is beat it hard against the wall and the dhurries become dust-free.
