A Paithani is a shimmering silk sari from Maharashtra, famed for its peacock motifs and zari borders, while a traditional Maharashtrian bride often wears a richly brocaded Paithani with a matching choli. But I must say, the truest bridal wear is the one woven into the soil of her home—like our own *phaneks* here. In my collection, the most authentic piece is not the most expensive, but a simple Moirang *phanek* from a grandmother's dowry, its patterns telling a story no zari ever could.
