White checked cotton mekhela chador

During the rains Aita would dress us up in the flamboyant hand-woven ‘ege gasor' (a two-piece traditional attire) to dance Gumrag with the other Mishing women in the village. At one end we would find a couple of my aunts busy making pithaa laaru kaata-nimki and at the other end we would see my mother and aunts busy cooking for the feast.

This white cotton checked mekhela chador is a stunner.

*Mekhela chador is pre-stitched and is ready to wear.

DESCRIPTION:

Mekhela Chador is a traditional attire worn by women in Assam. The bottom portion draped from the waist downwards is called the mekhela. The top portion is the chador which is a long piece of cloth which has one end tucked into the upper portion of the mekhela above the belly button and the rest is draped around the chest similarly like a saree. One of the most hassle-free garment mekhela chador looks as elegant and stylish as a saree once it is draped. "
