Gota Work Shagan Lifafa, Set of 5
Product added to cart
Gota (गोटा) — the gold and silver ribbon trim of Rajasthan — is the embellishment of celebration. Applied to bridal dupattas, festive lehengas, and the finest occasion wear, gota work signals that an occasion is auspicious, that beauty has been brought to bear on the moment. This set of five shagan lifafas brings gota work to the money gift envelope: the shagan lifafa (शगुन लिफाफा), the Punjabi and North Indian tradition of the decorated envelope used to give money as a blessing at weddings, engagements, and every joyful occasion. Five envelopes trimmed in gota — the most elevated format of the shagan gift, for the host who believes that the envelope is part of the blessing.
