Varaha – A Bespoke Collection of Men's Wedding Trousseau

A groom's wedding wardrobe deserves the same thought as the bride's. Varaha by Muhurth brings together traditional Kanjivaram silk angavastram sets and coordinated fabric lengths for shirts, kurtas and sherwanis, crafted for the many occasions surrounding a wedding.

Woven in fine Kanjivaram silk, the collection draws from the enduring design vocabulary of the weave. Classic checks, subtle tone-on-tone patterns and delicate micro motifs come together with the lustre of gold and silver zari, giving each fabric a distinctive character while retaining the richness of traditional silk.

The colour palette moves from ivory, cream and other timeless neutrals to deep maroon, sage green, burnt amber and mocha brown. These shades offer a range of possibilities for coordinating the groom's attire with the colours and zari of the bride's Kanjivaram saree, bringing a considered harmony to the wedding ensemble.

Beyond traditional angavastram sets, Varaha's Kanjivaram silk fabric lengths lend themselves to a variety of tailored styles, from classic kurtas and formal shirts to jackets and sherwanis. Each offers the opportunity to create wedding attire that feels rooted in tradition while reflecting the groom's personal style.

With Varaha, Muhurth extends its appreciation for Kanjivaram craftsmanship to the groom's trousseau, bringing together the silk, colours and details that make wedding dressing meaningful.
