Padmini Missing Joda Piece​ ( pure cotton mekhela chadar set) is a stunning example of Assamese handloom weaving, likely one half (either the Mekhela or the Chador) of a full traditional set, often identified by the product name Padmini Missing Joda.​Textile Characteristics​Fabric: The base fabric is Padmini Cotton renowned for its comfortable wear, light weight, and excellent structure, making it ideal for the tropical climate of Assam. It features a creamy-white or crisp white field.​Technique: The vibrant patterns are created using the complex supplementary weft technique (buta), which is characteristic of traditional Assamese weaving. In this labor-intensive process, the colorful threads are woven in manually by the artisan using a flying shuttle on a traditional handloom.​Design Style: The design is referred to as the "Missing" pattern, which is visually striking for its clean, light background juxtaposed with bold, colorful motifs that appear to float or stand out prominently on the surface of the fabric.​Visual Description​The fabric is richly adorned with intricate handwoven motifs:​Motif Palette: The design utilizes a bright, festive color palette, featuring dominant accents of vivid orange (often symbolizing the warmth of the sun or festivity), various shades of blue (suggesting calm or water bodies), bright green (representing nature and fertility), and touches of yellow/gold.​
