Each gown has three saris tailored together. Gaurang's weavers used 120 count fine khadi and the tree of life is woven using jamdani technique. According to the designer, he quotes, "One normally thinks of the hand-painted, kalamkari Tree of Life. We've used contemporary interpretations of the Tree of Life motifs."
