Genda Yellow Kota Saree

Share this piece

Genda is the marigold, and this Kota doria saree carries that yellow across 5.5 metres. Lalti hand embroidered tepchi running lines and keel points onto it in Lucknow, in white thread that lifts clean off the yellow ground. The khat weave runs 78 ends to 66 picks an inch, light enough to pleat in one pass, and a crochet edge closes the border.
