Let's start with the sari, the traditional attire of Indian women. We have an alluring range of saris in fabrics ranging from pure kancheepuram silk, to art silk and georgette.

http://www.indianselections.com/category/300/) Our stunning saris, with their intricate woven designs and vibrant colours, can be draped, or used as exquisite oriental throws or wall decorations. We have also reinvented uses for the versatile sari, and our a wonderful range of
luxurious sari bedcovers and duvets, sari curtains and cushion covers in shimmering colours will spice up any interior with the unmistakable beauty and flavour of India.

Our one of a kind table linen, fashioned from elaborate saris, includes superb runners with ornate borders, and coordinated placemats (http://www.indianselections.com/category/600/). Use them to set a stunning and flamboyant table that will become a talking point. Shawls and stoles have been worn India through the ages, and each region of India has its own distinct way of decorating the shawl (http://www.indianselections.com/category/400/). The great Mughal emperor Akbar was a great patron of bewitchingly beautiful wraps. If you browse through our lovely collection of shawls in silk, pashmina, art silk and brocade, you are sure to find one that will make your style statement with panache! Also available on Indian Selections is a range of Kalamkari paintings.

The origin of these distinctive paintings, which involve about seventeen different steps, goes back to the 10th century (http://www.indianselections.com/category/9200/). Artisans draw elaborate designs freehand on cotton fabric with dye, using a bamboo pen, called a kalam. Interestingly, the dyes used in kalamkari are all vegetable dyes, extracted from the roots, leaves and flowers of plants. So, no two kalamkari paintings can ever be exactly the same. Fabrics decorated with kalamkari were once used as currency in India, in place of gold, in the medieval spice trade! When Alexander the Great invaded India, kalamkari paintings and fabrics were among the treasures that he carried away with him. So when you buy one of our kalamkari paintings, you are not only buying a beautiful, environment friendly product, but also one that has a long and fascinating history! Connoisseurs of art have long admired the marble inlay work or 'Parchin kari ' that India is famous for. Mughal emperors, who had a passion for art and beauty, introduced this beautiful and complicated art form into India in the 16th century. This traditional craft has been passed down through centuries, from father to son, within the families of the great master craftsmen who gave the world the unparalleled 'Taj Mahal.'

Talented modern day craftsmen still use the same tools as the ones used in the Mughal era. For their customers, Indian Selections has sourced beautiful marble inlay collectibles with unrivalled aesthetic beauty and workmanship. If you would like to own a piece of this exquisite imperial art, click on this link - http://www.indianselections.com/category/9100/ to find an artifact that appeals to you.

India is a land of deep spirituality, and her many resplendent gods and goddesses add to her mystic character. Indian Selections offers customers the chance to buy lovely hand painted statues of popular Hindu deities. (http://www.indianselections.com/category/9210/) Choose from an adorable baby Krishna, a serene Saraswathi, Goddess of learning, or a powerful Hanuman. Or, pick a charming pot bellied Ganesha, the remover of obstacles who will bring luck and good fortune into your home.
