Description
Once a year, Bengal's darkest night becomes its brightest.
On Dipanwita Amavasya, the new moon of Kartik, there is no moon to light the sky. So Bengal lights it itself, with rows of diyas on rooftops, windowsills and doorsteps. The name says it: dipanwita means adorned with lamps.
It is unlike any other night in the Bengali calendar. While much of India welcomes Diwali with Lakshmi, Bengal stays awake past midnight for Kali Puja. The neighbourhood pandals fill, the dhak carries through the lanes, and the adda runs until dawn.
Bengali artists have always been drawn to this night, because it holds everything a painter wants: the deepest dark and the warmest light, side by side. This watercolour illustration is made in that tradition, so you can wear that night long after the lamps are put away.
Built for the Bengali winter.
This is 240 GSM French terry cotton, the weight of a sweatshirt in the shape of a T-shirt. It is smooth outside and soft and looped inside, with a ribbed collar and cuffs that hold their shape. The double stitching at the shoulder, hem and cuffs is made to last many winters.
What does 240 GSM mean?
GSM is how heavy the cloth is. Our regular T-shirts are 180 GSM. This one is 240, 1.33x the weight, so it feels thick and soft, holds its shape, and keeps you warm through the winter.
Why it stands apart.
A watercolour illustration with a story behind it, heavier cloth than our regular tees, stronger stitching, and a fabric that feels as good in January as it did on the first day.
