A Blast from the Past....

Salam, I am Areesa, Hello Everybody I am new to this Forum. I love it so far.

Here is something of interest. I saw this the other day and photographed it, because I loved it so much. See the photos below.

Can someone help me out ? Is this a Dulaee OR Dushala ??? Does anyone know ? How do you tell the difference ?

All I know is its about 100 years old with real Gold and Silver Embroidery and I love it. Its called sucha kaam if i remember the term correctly.

Looking forward to your replies. Thanks,

Areesa.

Dulaaii has a lining underneath in which you'll find stuffing [though very light] of spinned cotton or foam while do-shaalas have no filling/stuffing and is just one layer of material...more like a shawl.

also, doshaala is of the size of a shawl while Dulaaii is like a blanket/comforter.

I remember the paheli(riddle)
Hari thi ban bhari thi
Nou lakh mooti jari thi
Raja ji Kay bagh mein doshala oorhay khari thi

Thank you KhalilKhanFakhta and sryope.

Yes it is a Dulaee like a comforter. But it can be used for draping sofas, beds (nupital bed) and such. Being so pretty and valuable with sucha kaam it is a visual delight. I have seen it. Its lovely.

Loved your riddle (paheli). What does it mean ?

Bhutta is corn.

Can someone help me with how much it should cost ???

Areesa.
