Pankhudi Kota Cotton Gota Patti Bright Yellow Saree

How is the gota laid out?

Small gota sprigs are scattered over the marigold-yellow body, and a vine of gota flowers and leaves runs along the border beside a narrow gold zari edge, with touches of cream and red. It is cheerful, light, and easy to wear.

How should I wash it?

Hand wash it gently with a mild detergent, on its own, and dry it in the shade. Avoid rubbing or pulling at the gota work, and iron on low heat with a cotton cloth over the saree so the metallic ribbon stays smooth.

How much fabric is there for the blouse?

You get an 80 cm blouse piece along with the 5.4 to 5.5 metre saree. That is the usual allowance for a regular blouse; if you want long sleeves or a back with extra detailing, show the piece to your tailor before you settle the design.

How does it feel to wear?

Light and cool. Kota cotton is pure cotton in an airy khat weave, soft, breathable and ideal for hot climates, while the gota patti still gives it a festive shine. It stays easy to wear through a long summer function.

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 it good for a haldi?

Yes, the haldi is its natural home: the marigold-yellow body and gota sprigs are cheerful, and Kota cotton stays comfortable outdoors in the heat. It also suits festive functions, summer outings and travel, and kitty parties or brunches where you want colour without heavy work.
