Description

Paithani is a Handloom saree named after Paithan town in Chatrapati Sambhajinagar district in the state of Maharashtra, India. The history of Paithani sarees dates back to the Satavahana dynasty, where this exquisite weave originated over 2,000 years ago. The beauty of a Paithani saree lies in its intricate weaving and vibrant motifs using weft figuring designs using the tapestry method of weaving. These sarees are handwoven using pure silk or sometimes cotton, combined with real zari threads made of silver and gold. The shimmering borders and the detailed pallu with traditional designs like peacocks, lotus flowers, and mango shapes make each saree a work of art.
