Red & Green Majnu Khes (Atth Kalia)

Khes is a traditional, thick cotton wrap used by both men and women as protection against harsh winds. Woven from coarse cotton yarn, it typically features dark, chequered designs created by dyeing part of the yarn black before weaving.

Majnu Khes draws its design inspiration from the classic Mughal Charbagh gardens - an iconic element of Islamic architecture known for its harmonious four-fold symmetry. Reflecting this structured layout, the patterns are built around square-based units, forming a balanced and repeating geometric composition.

Traditionally woven by Muslim artisans before Partition, Majnu Khes carries a strong geometric visual language; an aesthetic deeply rooted in Islamic design principles. This emphasis on symmetry, order, and proportion not only defines its visual appeal but also connects it to a rich cultural and architectural heritage.

This Majnu Khes features the antique billi butho design, originally handwoven in the 19th century in the Sindh–Punjab region. It reflects the region’s enduring traditional aesthetics and craftsmanship. In Punjabi dialect, it is considered a variation of the Chiri pattern.
