Product Specifications

Body: Vertical zari pinstripes interspersed with decorative block/square motif weaves containing floral motifs. Border: Broad gold zari border featuring detailed traditional peacock (mayil) and lotus (thamarai) motifs, framed by a dark brown outer selvage. Pallu: Densely woven gold zari pallu with rich traditional motifs matching the border style. Occasion: Festival celebrations (Diwali, Navratri, Onam), wedding receptions, temple functions, and formal ethnic events. Style Tip: Pair with a matching magenta blouse featuring gold zari sleeve borders, or contrast it with a deep antique gold or maroon blouse. Minimal gold jewelry or temple jewelry complements the antique zari finish. Wash & Fabric Care First Wash: Strictly Dry Clean Only to preserve the zari sheen and prevent bleed. Subsequent Care: Dry cleaning is recommended. If hand-washing at home: Wash separately in cold water using a mild silk/delicate liquid detergent. Do not soak, wring, or rub the fabric or zari borders vigorously. Avoid harsh detergents, bleach, or fabric softeners. Drying: Line dry in a shady, well-ventilated indoor space. Keep direct sunlight away to prevent the deep magenta shade from fading. Ironing & Storage Ironing Setting: Low to Medium heat (Silk setting). Technique: Iron on the reverse side of the fabric. Use a thin cotton press cloth placed over the zari borders to prevent direct heat damage to the metallic threads. Storage: Fold neatly and wrap in a breathable cotton or muslin bag. Store in a dry, cool place and avoid hanging on metal hangers to prevent fabric stretching along the borders.
