Pankhudi Gota Patti Kota Cotton Silk Mustard Suit (T+D)

What is the standout detail?

The neckline. A line of silver gota marks out the yoke against the golden mustard, and the dupatta is edged in silver gota too. The fabric carries diagonal lehariya-style white stripes throughout, so the gota adds shine without crowding the pattern.

What is in the set?

Top fabric and a dupatta, each 2.4 to 2.5 metres, unstitched. A plain bottom is not included but is available for Rs.180. Take all the pieces to your tailor together so the yoke placement is planned first.

Is it suitable for a haldi?

Yes, the golden mustard suits a haldi well. It also works for festive days, office parties, summer outings and travel, and a kitty party or brunch. The set is handcrafted at the Indiehaat unit in Kota under master artisan Haq Nawaz.

Which bottom colour would work?

A matching mustard keeps it classic. White or off-white pants make it summery and pick up the stripes, and a silver-grey bottom echoes the gota. Silver or oxidised jewellery suits the silver gota trim best.

How do I care for the gota?

Hand wash gently with a mild detergent, separately, and dry it in the shade. Do not scrub or wring the gota; iron it on low heat with a cloth over the work.
