Goonj Chanderi Silk Still Blue Ajrakh Printed Saree

What motif does the Goonj saree carry?

Cream fan and shell shapes sit in rows across a teal-blue ground. The rows give it a graphic, almost architectural feel, and a soft sheen on the surface lifts the print in the light.

What is the pointed pallu end?

The pallu ends in pointed red-and-cream shapes set against a black panel, so the end of the saree has a sharp, zigzag finish. The border picks up the same idea with a red and cream zigzag band, a black edge and a gold line.

Does it need a matching petticoat?

Yes, ideally. Chanderi silk cotton is light with a slight sheerness, so a teal or blue petticoat close to the ground colour gives the cleanest drape and stops any contrast showing through in daylight.

How do I look after it?

Stick to dry cleaning. Keep it in a separate bag in a dry place, refold it from time to time, and let it air in dry weather. If it gets damp, dry it in the shade to protect the sheen and print colours.

Is it comfortable for long hours?

It is. The fabric is light and breathable, so it doesn't weigh on your shoulder or trap heat, and the pleats stay soft. It's a saree you can wear through a full day without wanting to change.

What is the fabric?

Handloom Chanderi silk cotton, a blend of silk and cotton woven in the Chanderi tradition. It is lightweight and breathable, with a subtle sheen and the elegant drape Chanderi is known for, which makes it a light, airy saree that is easy to manage.
