Mahika - Handloom Tissue Kota Doria Pure Zari Saree with Paithani Border
A whisper of elegance, a shimmer of heritage. Draped in the serene hue of opera mauve, Mahika, our handloom Tissue Kota Doria Pure Zari saree, glows like the first blush of dawn. Soft, ethereal, and enchanting, this saree captures the essence of timeless grace, woven from the finest Kota Doria threads and adorned with the brilliance of pure zari. Mahika is a celebration of tradition reimagined with modern sophistication. Perfect for those who cherish beauty that speaks in quiet tones.
Saree Body: The tissue base glistens like moonlight on silk - lightweight, luminous, and graceful. Scattered across this canvas are delicate "coin buttas in gold and silver zari", arranged in a half-repeat pattern that mimics the sparkle of a star-studded sky. The glitter of the tissue interwoven with zari lends a captivating, almost celestial aura to the drape.
Saree Border: The top border is a quiet expression of elegance, with a "2.5 inch silver zari kaddi band" resting inside a deep fuchsia strip, adding sharp definition to the saree’s soft and airy body. But it is the bottom border that truly captivates. A grand 9 inch panel of silver zari kaddi unfolds with traditional Paithani artistry. Alternating "Tota Maina motifs" in red and green cradle an exquisite world of detail, where "peacocks and parrots" perch along winding "Asavali vines". These vines "bloom in radiant shades of deep fuchsia, burnt orange, cobalt blue, marigold yellow, opera mauve, and lush green". Each bud is touched with the delicate shimmer of silver zari, like dew catching the morning light. A deep fuchsia selvedge frames the entire scene, turning the drape into a regal canvas of grace and storytelling.
Saree Pallu: The pallu dazzles with its intricate design and subtle brilliance. Repeated "gold zari bands in a basket weave pattern are embraced by deep fuchsia borders", while the divided pallu field is adorned with "nested diamond motifs" in silver zari that catch the light like jewels. The entire pallu is edged with "silver zari leaf anklets", fluttering softly along the edge like a delicate garland of grace.
Saree Blouse: Completing the ensemble is a dark fuchsia Kota Doria blouse, unstitched and adorned with light pink and gold zari coin buttas in a graceful half-repeat. Echoing the saree, it carries a complementing Paithani border, tying the whole look together with elegance.

COTTON CARE
• It is advisable to only dry-clean our Sarees. Use mild detergent to hand wash Cotton Sarees.
WASH, DRY & IRON PURE SILK THE RIGHT WAY
• For first three washes, dry cleaning is advisable for silk fabrics.
• If ever silk is washed in water, ensure it is washed in soft lukewarm water using a good neutral soap only.
• Squeeze lightly by hand to remove water after washing.
• Always dry the silk in shade only on a flat surface instead of hanging.
• Use low to medium heat while ironing.
• Always iron silk on the reverse side.
• Never spray water to dampen silk before ironing as it may cause water spots on the fabric.
• Do not wash the stains with water, instead give it for dry cleaning.
STORE PURE SILKS THE RIGHT WAY
• Store your Silk in a clean and dry environment using Cotton bags; avoid plastic covers.
• Avoid direct contact with wood.
• Protect silk from insects, dust, excessive moisture and light.
• Periodically (every 3-6 months) expose silks to fresh air and store after reversing the folds.
• Wrap Silk Sarees in cotton cloth or brown paper to avoid blackening of zari.
• Instead of Naphthalene balls, keep silica gel sachets in storage racks.
