Pankhudi Embroidered Kota Cotton Radiant White Suit (Top+Dupatta)

What are the accents on this white set?

The neckline carries an embroidered panel in green and red, with touches of yellow and gold, while the rest of the white top stays clean. The white check dupatta is scattered with small red flower dots, so the red ties the two pieces together.

Can it be styled for a festive day?

Yes. Pair it with a red or maroon bottom to echo the embroidery, drape the dupatta across both shoulders so the red flower dots show, and add jhumkas. White with red is a classic festive pairing, and the breathable Kota cotton stays comfortable in a crowded room.

What is Kota cotton?

A lightweight, breathable fabric from Kota in Rajasthan, known for its signature checked weave called khats. It is made from pure cotton, which makes it soft, durable and well suited to hot weather, and it is widely used in sarees and dupattas.

How should I wash it?

Gently, by hand, with a mild detergent. Wash it separately and dry it in the shade. Avoid wringing the embroidered parts; press out water with a towel instead. Iron on a medium setting from the reverse side, keeping direct heat off the embroidery.

Where is the Pankhudi made?

At the Indiehaat unit in Kota, Rajasthan, under master artisan Haq Nawaz. Each piece is handcrafted, so slight differences in the weave or embroidery from one set to another are part of its character, not defects.

Does Kota cotton need a lining?

Usually yes. The checked weave is airy, which keeps it cool but also makes it slightly see-through, especially in light shades. A soft cotton lining in a skin tone or a matching colour keeps the kurta modest and helps it fall neatly. Lining is not part of the set.
