Kota Doria Block Print Saree

Kota Block Print Saree — Breezy Craft from Rajasthan's Looms

Imagine the warmth of a Rajasthani afternoon, the rhythmic thud of a carved wooden block, and the bloom of colour on sheer Kota fabric. That is the story behind every Kota block print saree — a marriage of two great Indian craft traditions: the airy Kota Doria weave and the centuries-old art of hand block printing. The result is a saree that is as light as a whisper and as vivid as a folk painting.

Fabric & Craft

• Woven from pure Kota Doria — a fine cotton-silk blend from Kota, Rajasthan, known for its signature square-check (khat) texture
• Exceptionally lightweight, sheer, and breathable — ideal for India's warm climate
• Hand block-printed using carved wooden blocks and natural or vegetable dyes, giving each piece its own character
• Prints range from traditional floral and geometric motifs to contemporary abstract patterns
• Slight variations in print placement are a mark of authentic hand craftsmanship

Occasions

• Casual and semi-formal daywear
• Festive gatherings, pujas, and cultural events
• Summer weddings and outdoor functions
• Office and everyday elegance for the saree lover

Styling Notes

Pair with a solid cotton or silk blouse in a colour pulled from the print — indigo, rust, or sage work beautifully. Keep jewellery minimal: oxidised silver or terracotta pieces complement the handcrafted aesthetic perfectly. A relaxed drape suits the fabric's easy, flowing nature.

Care Instructions

• Gentle hand wash in cold water with mild detergent
• Wash dark colours separately for the first few washes
• Do not wring — gently squeeze out water and dry in shade
• Light iron on reverse side to preserve the print

Each Kota block print saree is hand-crafted — no two pieces are identical. What you receive is a one-of-a-kind expression of Rajasthani craft heritage.
