These sarees are  from the collection of Meanings, Metaphor- Handspun and Handwoven in the 21st Century, displayed  at Coimbatore, January 2019. The exhibit was a series of contemporary iterations from Martand Singh’s Khadi : The Fabric of Freedom, presented  by The Registry of Sarees from its archive of historical textiles.
