Woven by hand, on a loom, by an artisan — not on a power loom.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe temple border is built one motif at a time: a stepped peak, then a small flowering stem, then another peak. On maroon the off-white motifs stand out clearly, so the small differences between them are easy to see. Those differences are the weaver's hand, and they are what make the saree honest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to Style It\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMaroon is the colour most of us grew up seeing at every festival and temple visit — deep, warm, and never out of place. With the gold tissue pallu, it looks traditional in the best way. Wear it for Navratri, Deepavali, pooja at home or a family function, and let the cotton keep you comfortable through the day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor contrast, a mustard or bottle green blouse brings out the warmth of the maroon. Black gives it a bolder, more graphic look. An off-white or beige blouse keeps it soft and lets the gold lead. Gold-toned or temple jewellery completes it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCare\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHand wash in cold water with a mild detergent. Wash it on its own the first few times, and always keep darks and lights apart. No bleach or harsh chemicals. Do not wring or twist, especially the tissue. Line dry in the shade — cotton fades faster in direct sun. Iron on a warm setting, and press the tissue border and pallu on the reverse side.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStore it folded in a dry place, wrapped in white cotton cloth, and refold it along new lines now and then so the tissue does not crease sharply in one place.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eQuestions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the fabric?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHandloom cotton, with a gold tissue border and a gold tissue pallu.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the gold shimmer zari?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo. The shimmer on the border and pallu is tissue, not zari.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat comes with the saree?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOne maroon handloom cotton saree, 6.2 metres long and 1.2 metres wide, with a maroon running blouse attached. The blouse portion is part of the 6.2 metres.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the blouse stitched?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo. The running blouse is unstitched and attached to the saree. Your tailor cuts it off and stitches it to your measurements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs it really handloom?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes. It is woven by hand on a loom, not on a power loom.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat colour are the tassels?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDeep red — a shade brighter than the maroon body, so they stand out at the end of the pallu.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow is this different from your other handloom cotton sarees in this weave?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe mustard and soft indigo sarees share this temple border in other colours. The magenta and rama green sarees carry a leaf border instead. Maroon is the most traditional of the set.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs it suitable for festivals?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes. Maroon and gold tissue are a classic festive pairing, and the cotton keeps it comfortable — a good choice for Navratri, Deepavali, pooja and family functions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy do some motifs look slightly different?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBecause they are woven by hand. Small variations in texture and motif shape are natural to handloom and are not defects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow do I care for the tissue?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDo not wring or twist it. Iron on a warm setting, pressing the tissue on the reverse side, and store the saree folded in soft cotton cloth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I see the saree on a video call?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes.
