Paithani Saree Yellow Colour with Golden Pallu

Paithani Sarees/Suites/Fabrics, in particular, feature borders with an oblique square design and a pallu adorned with a peacock motif. The design incorporates linear and exquisite frameworks with intricate gold-woven motifs of floral birds, notably peacocks, parrots, and mania forms, on the pallu and border. The front and back of the saree appear similar due to the tapestry method of weaving. These Sarees/Fabrics often use silk thread with twisted silver coated with gold (jari), or sometimes twisted zari on cotton thread. Common motifs found in the Pallu include 'Asawali,' 'Panja' (a geometrical flower), 'Muthada' (a geometrical shape), and 'More' (peacock). Paithani Sarees/Suites/Fabrics come in various colours, with delicate shades giving them a distinct touch, achieved through pure colors or blends of different yarns. The intricate process includes sorting silk, degumming, bleaching, dyeing, winding, and actual weaving. Silk is sorted, wound, and manually warped onto frames. Degumming involves soap and soda treatment to remove silk gum, followed by bleaching with hydrogen peroxide. Dyeing employs various classes of dyes, predominantly acid dyes.
