Grape Purple Zari Woven Paithani Saree

The Grape Purple Zari Woven Paithani Saree brings the depth and regality of grape purple to one of Maharashtra's finest handloom traditions. Handwoven in Paithan using the distinctive oblique interlocking weft technique, this saree features real zari peacock and lotus motifs in the pallu and border — an elegant, celebratory drape for festive and traditional occasions.

Fabric and Craft

Paithani sarees from Paithan, Maharashtra are woven on pit looms by skilled artisans who dedicate weeks to each piece. The oblique interlocking weft technique — where each coloured silk weft interlocks at an angle with its neighbour — gives Paithani its signature reversible design and crisp motif edges. Grape purple, a deeply saturated jewel tone, was historically associated with royalty in the Deccan, making this colour a particularly stately choice in the Paithani tradition. Real zari threads — silver alloy with gold plating — run through the contrasting border and pallu, weaving peacock and lotus patterns.

Occasion Guide

Suited for festive occasions, Navratri, religious ceremonies, and traditional Maharashtrian events. The deep grape purple pairs well with kundan, polki, or antique gold jewellery and is particularly striking under artificial lighting at evening functions.

Care Instructions

Dry clean recommended. Store flat wrapped in a clean white muslin cloth. Avoid direct sunlight and moisture. Air out every 3 months to maintain the lustre of zari threads.
