This saree uses
Pure Organza Silk warp and weft.
Kora silk has a very distinct crisp feel and drape. Their diaphanous/sheer nature makes the fabric breathe and the motifs to stand out. A preferred choice for summers.

Each buta is woven individually with a hand shuttle, diligently, one line at a time by a master weaver. Weaving time for each saree is usually in excess of 200 man hours, often significantly longer.

Useful Tip. To see the richeness of the weave and zari in a handwoven saree, we recommend you see the fabric along the length.
In a handloom saree, the motif yarns and zari, if any, run across the width, and the richness of motifs is more visible when your line of sight is perpendicular to these motif yarns,
ie when your sight runs along the length of the saree.
