Long Description
This exquisite navy blue and off-white Kota Doria saree is a testament to the rich heritage of traditional Indian textiles, specifically the hand block printing techniques from Rajasthan. It features intricate patterns created using the time-honored Dabu mud-resist process, where a special clay paste is applied to the fabric before dyeing. This technique results in distinctive, sometimes slightly "cracked" or organic designs once the mud is washed off, a hallmark of authentic handmade craftsmanship.
The fabric itself is a lightweight and breathable blend of cotton and silk, known for its transparency and comfort, making it suitable for various occasions. The use of natural, eco-friendly dyes, a characteristic of the Bagru printing style, contributes to the saree's earthy aesthetic and unique character. The saree includes a delicate zari border, adding a touch of traditional elegance. Due to the manual nature of the block printing and dyeing, slight irregularities are natural and celebrated as a sign of true artisanal work.
