The pallu is adorned with hand-embroidered linear Popati motifs and scattered Panchako motifs in blue, yellow, orange and green tones sparsely distributed throughout, enhancing traditional artisanal craftsmanship.

The Border: A continuous woven border running the saree's full length providing refined visual continuity, elegant definition, and cohesive design flow throughout.

Feel: Breathable, durable and textured; it provides comfort in summers and moderate warmth in winters.

To ensure the longevity of the natural fibers and the hues:

1. First Wash: Dry cleaning is highly recommended for the first wash to set the colours and preserve the intricate weft work.

2. Subsequent Washes: If hand-washing at home, use cold water and a very mild liquid detergent (or baby shampoo).

3. Process: Do not soak the saree for more than 5 minutes. Gently swirl it in the water; do not bleach or scrub, wring or twist the fabric, as this can damage the hand-woven motifs.

4. Drying: Always dry in the shade and away from direct sunlight to prevent the colours from fading. It is best to hang it on a padded hanger or lay it flat on a clean surface.

5. Ironing: Use a medium-heat setting. It is safer to iron on the reverse side of the saree to protect the raised weaving patterns.

6. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid using plastic covers; instead wrap the saree in a breathable muslin or cotton cloth bag given along with the product. Avoid hanging for long periods; folding helps maintain the shape of the handloom weave.

7. Tassel Care: Gently comb the tassels with your fingers after washing to keep them from tangling.

Please note that the actual colour may vary slightly from the photos due to differences in screen settings, lighting conditions, and natural variations in handcrafted, handwoven textiles.

Please note that this fabric is handwoven and handcrafted so there may be subtle variations that authentically reflect the skilled artisanal craftsmanship and individuality of each unique piece.
