Pankhudi Gota Patti Sunny Yellow Kota Cotton Saree

How does the lattice look on this saree?

Silver-toned gota lines form diamonds across the whole body, each holding a small flower with a coloured centre. On yellow the lattice reads bright and cheerful, and the narrow gold border keeps the edge simple.

How should I wash it?

Gently by hand with a mild detergent, washed separately, and dried in the shade. Avoid rubbing or pulling at the gota patti, and iron on low heat with a cloth over the work so the ribbon keeps its shine.

What are the small squares I can see in the fabric?

Those are khats, the signature checks of Kota weaving. They are woven into the cloth itself, not printed, and they give Kota cotton its airy, faintly textured look. Hold the saree up to the light and you will see the grid clearly.

Is the gota patti really done by hand?

Yes. The gota work is hand-applied at the IndieHaat unit in Kota under master artisan Haq Nawaz. Each ribbon piece is placed and stitched down by hand, so small differences in spacing or stitch are normal; that unevenness is the sign of handwork, not a flaw.

Is this saree good for a haldi?

Yes, the haldi is its natural home: the bright yellow lattice is cheerful, and Kota cotton stays comfortable when it's warm and crowded. It also suits other festive functions, summer outings and travel, and kitty parties or brunches where you want colour without fuss.
