The Paithani sari has its origins in antiquity, hailing from the royal dynasties of the medieval town of Paithan near Aurangabad. Named after the town, the sari is believed to have been originally made with the finest silk threads from pure zari that was spun locally.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 Yeol are crafted from homegrown silk threads from Bangalore, while the zari is sourced from Surat. To create a genuine Paithani sari, around 500 grams of silk threads and another 250 grams of zari threads are utilised for a regular six-yard piece, while the nine-yard silk threads iterations use more raw material and can weigh up to 900 grams.

Maintenance

  1. Never hand-wash or machine-wash a silk saree.
  2. In case the saree gets stained, immediately wipe the stain off with cold water.
  3. It is advisable to only dry-clean silk sarees.
  4. Never hang your beautiful silk saree to dry in direct sunlight as doing so will cause the color to fade.
  5. Don’t keep the saree bundled up as this will result in the threads of the beautiful embroidery or zari work getting entangled.
  6. Store your Paithani saree in a light cotton muslin cloth. This will give the saree breathing space and will prevent one saree from sticking to another when kept in a pile.
  7. Don’t store your saree in a plastic blog or a cover as this will cause the gold embroidery to turn black.
