Tailor brief checklist

Give this simple brief to your darzi so everything looks premium and fits right.

General

• Nap direction same for all pieces to avoid shade variation.

• Edges clean finish with piping or gota lace.

• Lining with cotton or satin for aasans and vastra to prevent slip and protect the pile.

• Interlining foam or felt for aasans, singhasan seats, and torans to add structure.

Backdrops and curtains

• Top sleeve channel or sturdy loops for easy hanging.

• Side and bottom hems 1–1.5 inch for weight and clean fall.

• Optional tiebacks with tassels.

Deity vastra

• Lightweight micro velvet for small idols; keep body comfortable.

• Closures with soft hook and loop, press buttons, or tie strings.

• Borders in zari or brocade; avoid heavy stones for small murtis.

Aasan and thal posh

• Foam sheet 4–6 mm or felt underlay for cushion effect.

• Anti slip mat beneath the aasan so it stays in place.

• Corner tassels or embroidered motif centered.

Toran and bandhanwar

• Stiffener inside with felt or buckram.

• Fabric loops or rings to hang.

• Motifs swastik, om, peacock, lotus as applique or machine embroidery.

How to place the murti on velvet safely

• Use a firm aasan with foam or felt so the base stays level.

• Keep an anti slip mat under the aasan on smooth marble or wood.

• For heavy murtis, choose higher GSM velvet and add dense interlining.

• Avoid placing wet items directly on velvet; use a washable liner on top during abhishek.
