Indigo with Golden Border

A Maheshwari silk saree is a lightweight, lustrous handloom saree made from a blend of pure silk and cotton, originating from Maheshwar, Madhya Pradesh. Named after its place of origin, it features unique designs inspired by the local architecture, such as brick (eent), jasmine (chameli ka phool), and diamond (heera) motifs. Key identifiers include a smooth, slightly crisp texture from the silk-cotton weave and a reversible border known as “bugdi,” often adorned with zari work.
