Buy Embroidered Stole Scarves from ShalinCraft. Stole - A long wide scarf or

Early Sanskrit literature has a wide vocabulary
of terms for the veil or stole, such as
avagunthana, niringi, nirangika, mukhapata,
siravastra, and yavanika.
The odhna or odhni is a veil. It represents the
continuation of an unbroken tradition of wearing
unstitched lengths of fabric that was the
preferred style of clothing of ancient India. A
whole body of Vedic literature identifies the use
of the stole as a universally worn over garment
called the uttariya – a length of fabric draping
the top half of the body. The odhna, like other
graceful attire, comes alive only when it is
worn. It is a rectangular cloth, 3-4 meters in
length and 1.25-2 meters wide. The odhna makes an
impression, not just because of the beauty of its
fabric and ornamentation, but also due to the
elegance of its draping. The fabric used may vary
from fine voile to coarse cotton cloth, although
georgette, fine silk and chiffon are also used.
Of late polyester has gained popularity because
of its affordability, sturdiness and easy
availability.
In Rajasthan, the odhna is the first visual
manifestation of a woman’s presence and, through
it, she strives to express her personality and
social identity.
It is possible to wear the same scarf or stole
differently for different outfits and occasions. It can be tied in
multiple fashions depending on the outfit, weather and occasion.
"Scarves
were excellent. Arrived faster than
expected from India. The way they were
wrapped was above and beyond anything I
have eve received. Excellent! I highly
recommend this seller."
"The
colors in the picture aren't always
true to the product. However, the
scarves are always so beautiful that I
am happy with what I received."
"The
personal note thanking me was a nice
touch. My stuff came pretty quick from
India and was better than I could
imagine. However, I asked for two
scarves wrapped in their own boxes.
Instead they were put in one box with
one card. Still, I am more than pleased
with my order. One of my best
experiences on Amazon!"
"The
scarf I ordered was even more beautiful
than I expected. The craftsmanship is
top notch. If you are finding it
difficult choosing a gift for a female,
give the scarves produced by Shalin
India a try. You won't be disappointed.
One additional note, with the order, I
received a personal hand written thank
you note. This touch indicates to me
that they truly appreciate the
business."
"The
scarves were absolutely beautiful and
the service was amazing. I received my
package to Australia within a week. The
hand written note and loyalty discount
card were a lovely additional touch.
One of the scarves was a gift and I was
delighted to give such a unique
present. If the service could be
improved, I would suggest a more
specific description of the colours.
Thankyou ShalinIndia. "
"This is
a great company that sells very
high-end products. I ordered several
silk and wool scarves and a blouse, and
all were of exceptional quality.
Shipping is extremely fast, even if
half around the globe, and very
moderately priced. Returns (I ordered
several things to choose from and kept
more than intended anyway) are handled
speedily and professionally (you return
to US, not India). thanks!"

While the
colors are a bit different from the
picture (the nature of digital images,
not the fault of the seller), the scarf
is very nice, the order was carefully
wrapped, and came quickly (less than
one week from placing the order!).
Don't hesitate to order with confidence
from ShalinIndia.
