Kota Doriya sarees
The fabric of Kota Doria is made up of cotton and silk yarn in different
combinations in warp and weft, which are woven in such a fashion that they
produce square check patterns in fabric.
These
checks are popularly known as "Khat" and these are made so skillfully
that fabric becomes transparent, which is a unique characteristic of this
wonder hand-woven fabric. Kota Doria fabric is more comfortable in summer
season because it is light and airy and therefore, this fabric is an excellent
protection against the north Indian heat.
it is uniquen because of weaving of two natural fibres i.e. cotton & silk
and designing of the fabric are the most important part of the fabric. If you
look at the fabric according to the features, the product is really nice. And
features and feel of the fabric during wearing is simply not comparable to any
available fabric.
Kota, a small district situated in southeast of Rajasthan is very famous for
its delicate kota doria saris, These dorias are fine woven fabrics containing a
special type of check pattern in the weave itself, locally called khat. These
saris are very delicate, lightweight and porous and this makes them favorable
towards surface ornamentation techniques like batik tie-and-dye, chiknar work,
hand-block printing, embroidery and appliqu? work.
