Paithani Sarees

Paithani Motifs and Designs

A peacock, lotus blossoms, or parrots are common traditional designs on a Marathi Paithani Saree. However, this was prior to the Peshwas' reign. Hans, Ashraffi, and Asawalli (blooming vines) arose as a result of the Peshwas' fascination with silk sarees. Bangadi Mor (peacock in a bangle), Tota-Maina (parrot and myna bird), and Narali (coconut) were all popular designs. In reality, such a Paithani Saree can still be found online. The use of brilliant hues brings the unique motifs skillfully created by the weavers. Pure Paithani sarees come in a variety of colors, including vivid red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple. To express varied designs, the motifs use a wide color pallet, including hues of black. Other variations in the weave have been explored, such as employing a violet warp with a gold zari weft. By combining diverse colors, the weavers have created their own set of unique hues. The dazzling color palette of this saree, whether in terms of the silk strands used on the body or the patterns and border, is what makes it so appealing.

Types of Paithani Silk Sarees

Bangadi mor Paithani saree :

Bangadi means bangle in Marathi, while mor indicates peacock. As a result, "bangadi mor" refers to a peacock bangle or a peacock weaved in the shape of a bangle. The pallu is frequently woven with the motif. This is one of the most widely used Paithani saree designs.

Ekdhoti weave Paithani saree

A single shuttle is used to weave the weft in the ekdhoti weave Paithani saree. The warp yarn is a different color than the weft yarn. These sarees feature a narali border and simple butti patterns like coins or peas.

Paithani sarees in traditional colors

Original Paithani sarees come in a variety of colors, but the most popular are kali chandrakala (a jet black saree with a scarlet border), Raghu (a parrot green color), and Shirodak (a deep blue saree) (pure white).

Brocade Paithani

Brocade is used on the borders of some Paithani sarees. The more complicated the brocade work, the more expensive the saree.

Munia Brocade Paithani

In Marathi, "Munia" means "parrot." Parrots are weaved on the pallu as well as the border of this type of saree. These parrots are always green in color and are sometimes called "tota-maina".
