Description

Available in two variants — plain-weave cotton (embroidered) and poly-cotton double-layer (solid, structured drape)
Embroidered cotton variant features hand-stitched floral and geometric border in multi-colour threadwork; poly-cotton variant finished with a clean double-layer hem — no embellishment, weight as design
Worn on Sakela festival (Ubhauli and Udhauli), community weddings, Dashain, and cultural gatherings

The shawl is a defining element of Rai women’s ceremonial dress — worn draped over the shoulder during Sakela, the Kirat Rai harvest festival celebrated twice each year, and at weddings, Dashain, and community events by Rai women across Nepal, Sikkim, Darjeeling, and the Kalimpong hills. It is not an accessory added to an outfit but a marker of community belonging, as recognisable within Rai cultural life as any other element of traditional dress.

BHUTIB offers this shawl in two distinct forms. The cotton variant is a plain-weave wrap in off-white with a densely embroidered border — floral clusters and geometric repeats worked in deep red, forest green, black, and gold thread along one long edge and both short ends, the stitching close and even. The poly-cotton variant is double-layered — the same fabric folded back on itself at the hem for a clean, weighted finish — in a deep maroon that carries a low sheen in light, the structure and colour doing the work that embroidery does in the other version.

Questions people actually ask

Is this ready to ship?

Yes — it is ready-made, as shown. Order before 5 pm IST and it is processed the same day and dispatched within 2 working days; then 5–7 working days in transit anywhere in India, a little longer for remote pincodes.

What if it doesn't suit me when it arrives?

You can return or exchange it within 7 days of delivery, unused, with the tags and packaging intact. Message us on WhatsApp with your order ID and we send you the return address. Return postage is on you unless the piece arrived damaged, defective or wrong — then we cover it.

How and when do I get the refund?

Once the piece reaches us, inspection takes about a day and the refund goes back the way you paid. For cash-on-delivery orders you share a bank account with us. Allow 5–10 working days for it to show.

How do I track it?

As soon as it is dispatched you get the tracking number and link on WhatsApp and email. You can also use the Track your order page.

Do you ship to Nepal or Singapore?

Not through this website yet — it ships within India only. For Nepal, Bhutan, Singapore and elsewhere, message us on WhatsApp and we'll arrange it.

Is the colour the same as the photo?

The photos are of the actual piece in daylight; screens differ a little. To be sure, ask us on WhatsApp for a photo before we dispatch.
