Wrapping the youthful physique of a Marathi bride in its silken embrace, a pure Paithani silk saree is the crown jewel of Indian ethnic women’s wear.
Originally produced in Paithan, Paithani silk sarees have a huge fan following among modern women due to their rich feel, aesthetic dhoop-chaanv (light and shade) effected created by weaving two colors of silk threads together, and regal golden Zari embroidery.
The mulberry silk and zari used in making a traditional Paithani silk saree are obtained from Banglore and Surat and intricately woven by the craftsmen of Paithan and Yeola (another center for producing Paithani Saree).
