Shakti Kota Silk Red & White Durga Embroidery Saree

What are the motifs on the Shakti saree?

Embroidered faces of Goddess Durga in red thread, placed on a white body. The motif is drawn in fine lines, so it reads as artwork rather than heavy work. A red temple-pattern border runs along the edge, and the pallu carries broad red stripes ending in tassels.

What is Kora silk like?

Kora silk is made from unbleached silk yarn, so it has a crisp, slightly coarse feel and a natural translucence. It holds its shape well and drapes with a gentle stiffness. Because it is sheer, wear it over a white petticoat.

Is the blouse included?

Yes, an 80 cm blouse piece comes with the 5.5 to 5.6 metre saree. The blouse the model wears is only styling and is not part of the package, so plan to have your own stitched from the piece provided.

How can I style the blouse?

Red is the natural choice, matching the border and pallu stripes for the classic white-and-red look. A white blouse keeps it minimal and lets the Durga faces lead, and gold adds richness for festive evenings.

When can I wear it?

It works at the office, especially around festival season, and is a lovely pick for a kitty party. In the evening it suits a dinner out, and it comes into its own at festive celebrations.

How should I care for it?

Dry clean only. Store it in its own bag in a dry place, change the folds from time to time, and air it in non-humid conditions so the crisp Kora silk does not weaken along the creases.
