Nargis ki roshini katan silk blockprint saree blue

How is the gold print laid out?

Small gold fan-shaped sprigs are hand block printed across a soft aqua body, with the pattern gathering more densely towards the pallu. A narrow gold edge runs along the length and a floral scroll band sits near the pallu, which ends in tassels.

Is the blouse the model is wearing included?

The stitched blouse in the photos is styling only and is not part of the package. You do get an 80 cm blouse piece with the saree, so you can have a blouse made to your own design and measurements.

How do I care for it?

Dry clean only. Store it in a separate bag in a dry place, and refold it along different lines now and then, airing it in dry rather than humid weather. This keeps the silk from weakening at the folds and protects the gold print.

What blouse colours pair well?

Gold is the natural match for the sprigs and the edge. Ivory or cream keeps it soft for office and daytime. For a puja or temple visit, a deeper blouse in maroon, magenta or navy gives the light base more presence.

How does it drape?

Katan silk is a soft, lustrous fabric woven from pure silk threads, and at 5.5-5.6 metres there is ample length for full pleats and a generous pallu. The denser pattern near the pallu looks best displayed over the shoulder rather than tucked away.

Is every saree printed identically?

No. The block print is stamped by hand, so the spacing and depth of the gold sprigs vary slightly from saree to saree. These small irregularities are a mark of handwork, not a flaw.
