and a fine display of colours, with brilliant motifs, an attractive Pallu and a
border to match. The saree is known for its brilliant display of stripes,
checks and exquisite floral borders with complementary contrast borders and
tantalizing wide zari borders. The Pallu is particularly noted for the
colourful stripes in varied colours such as green, pink, magenta, mauve, violet
etc. which lend the fabric a mesmerising look. The border is also adorned by
trendy designs and themes such as the Maheshwar fort and related objects. Some
of the popular patterns in use even today are that of mat, Chameli flower,
brick and diamond. Though worn for exclusive events it it also serves for a
variety of occasions. Once aimed at export markets and regal clientele, the use
of silver zari made it affordable and widely popular even in domestic markets.

specially stitched reverse border is an attractive and widely sought one.
