It is the quietest of our beaded torans - all ivory, pearl and soft gold, with no bright colour - so it sits well on a light stone villa entrance or a white apartment door.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShwet kamal means white lotus, the flower Lakshmi stands on, which is why a lotus over the threshold is the traditional welcome at Diwali and Grah Pravesh.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat it is made of\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe base is a stiff woven gold lace with mirror work and a scalloped pearl lower edge. On it sit two large corner medallions - a coiled gold zari roundel ringed with pearls, with a white beaded lotus over copper and gold sequin petals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBetween them run white beaded leaves on gold zari, mirror-and-pearl roundels and beaded white roses. The centre is a gold zari medallion with a silver kundan star, set over a cream and gold beaded lotus.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey details\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eKundan star centre:\u003c\/strong\u003e a silver stone star in a pearl-ringed gold zari medallion.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePearl lotus corners:\u003c\/strong\u003e white beaded lotuses over copper and gold sequin petals.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNine tassels:\u003c\/strong\u003e three clusters of pearl-bead balls with gold bugle-bead tassels, tipped with pearls.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGold lace band:\u003c\/strong\u003e mirror work with a scalloped pearl edge, stiff enough to hang flat.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e about 100 cm wide with a drop of about 30 cm to the longest tassel.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePacked:\u003c\/strong\u003e ships in a box, so the beadwork and tassels arrive flat and undamaged.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eOn a UAE front door\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost front doors in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah and Ajman apartments and villas are about 1 metre wide, and this bandhanwar is made to that size. It hangs across the top of the door and sits neatly within the door frame, with the corner drops just inside the two top corners.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe band is stiff and the work is stitched rather than glued, which is what holds up through a UAE summer behind a sunlit door. Delivery is free across the UAE on orders from AED 30, so this piece ships free.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePrefer colour on the door?

In daylight it reads warm white and gold, never stark white.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eHow do I hang it?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom the two band ends, on small hooks, nails or adhesive hooks either side of the door frame. A third hook behind the centre keeps a long band dead straight. The band is stiff, so it holds a clean line without a rail.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWill the beadwork come loose?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery motif is hand stitched onto the band rather than glued, which is what usually fails on cheaper pieces in UAE heat. Store it flat between festivals and it lasts for years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eIs it only for Diwali?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. A bandhanwar on the main door is a year round welcome, and this one suits Dhanteras and Diwali, Navratri, Grah Pravesh, Satyanarayan Katha and a wedding house equally.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eHow do I clean it?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDust gently with a soft dry brush. Do not wet the mirrors, beads or the gold lace, and do not fold the band across the medallions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCan I use it indoors?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes.
