With meticulous artistry, every inch of this extraordinary piece showcases an intricate all-over herati pattern, meticulously crafted and embellished with an expansive ornate border. The deep red field sets a moody backdrop, accentuated by playful accents of emerald green, jade blue, sage, and touches of gold, creating a harmonious interplay of colors. Truly mesmerizing, this Mahal stands as a testament to timeless beauty and evokes a sense of awe.
