Akshara I – Dual Tone Handwoven Pure Paithani Silk

Paithani saree, also known as the ‘Queen of Sarees’ is one of the most popular types of sarees in India. Along with a beautiful and unique pattern, it also carries a cultural significance. The Paithani has its origins in antiquity, hailing from the royal dynasties of the medieval town of Paithan near Aurangabad. Named after the town, the saree is believed to have been originally made with the finest silk threads from China and pure zari that was spun locally. This sari signifies years of superfluity and the finesse of Indian handloom, and every piece is characterised with the luxurious and liberal use of gold, as well as floral and bird-inspired motifs. The modern iterations of the sari from Paithan and Yeola are crafted from homegrown silk threads from Bangalore, while the zari is sourced from Surat.
