Wash & Care Instructions
- Dry Clean Only: To preserve the silk’s sheen and prevent shrinkage, always dry clean your handloom silk saree.
- Gentle Handling: If absolutely necessary, gently hand-wash in cold water with a mild detergent. Never machine-wash, wring, or soak.
- No Bleach or Harsh Detergents: Avoid all bleaches or stain removers, as they can damage silk fibers.
- Iron Carefully: Iron on low–medium heat. For best results, iron the saree inside-out on a medium-hot setting to protect its luster.
- Store Properly: Fold and store in a cotton or muslin bag, away from direct sunlight, humidity and plastic. This prevents fading and moisture damage.
- Air Occasionally: Unfold and air the saree periodically to keep it fresh and prevent mildew.

Exquisite and authentic, this saree embodies centuries-old Odisha craft. It is woven on traditional handlooms from the finest yarns: a sumptuous pure silk warp and weft, giving the fabric an opulent luster yet comfortable, breathable drape. Our skilled artisans employ the time-honored Ikat (bandha) technique – tie-dyeing and hand-weaving each thread – to create its signature blurred patterns. Rich motifs drawn from Odisha’s heritage (think temple art, conch, and floral designs) emerge from the metallic-green field, each symbol imbuing the saree with cultural meaning. The premium green colour shifts subtly under light, making the saree equally striking at day or night. Investing in this heirloom-quality piece means owning a wearable work of art – a one-of-a-kind drape that tells a story of artisanal elegance and will remain treasured for generations.
No flashes or electronic lights used to enhance the color, ensuring transparency of the product. Minor irregularities are the uniqueness of handlooms, making each piece exquisite. Product color hues may slightly vary from the image due to natural daylight and camera.
