Varnika Dark Peach Blockprint Kota Doria Saree

How do the maroon bands look on this saree?

Dark maroon bands of grid and trailing vine run across the pallu, deepening the warm body colour. Because the bands sit in the same colour family as the body, the saree looks rich and tonal rather than high-contrast.

What runs along the edges?

A slim pale pink edge finishes the border, giving a soft, light line against the deeper maroon bands. It keeps the warm saree from feeling heavy and adds a delicate frame.

Is it comfortable for long hours?

Pure cotton Kota Doria is lightweight, airy and soft, which makes it a comfortable choice for office days, festive gatherings and summer travel. Pinning the pleats and pallu keeps the light fabric in place as you move.

How should I wash it?

Hand wash it gently in cold water with a mild detergent and wash it on its own, separately from other clothes. Dry it in the shade and avoid wringing the fine weave, then store it folded in a muslin cloth.

Does it come with a blouse piece?

Yes, a blouse piece is attached to the saree. Cut it away from the end before draping and have it tailored to your measurements. A maroon blouse ties neatly into the pallu bands.

What are the small checks in the weave?

These are khats, the fine square checks Kota Doria is known for. They are woven into the fabric, making it light, airy and sheer, and they form the base on which the coral red body and maroon bands are block printed by hand.
