Aroushi is the ideal choice for those special occasions when you desire to dazzle without the weight of heavy silk sarees. Allow this saree to serve as your canvas for self-expression, your unique story to narrate, and your embodiment of pure grace.
Saree Body: Adorned with “Iruthalai pakshi motifs" (Gandaberunda or Berunda, two-headed Hindu mythological bird with magical powers) in repeat pattern in cream and orange hues within enclosed "windowpane checks". One of the most stunning motifs in heritage Kanjivaram Sarees, each gandaberunda motif tells its own story, perhaps representing different aspects of life, nature, or mythology.
Saree Border: The 6-inch saree's border is a testament to timeless charm, with a rich “Retta Pett" (rettai pettu / double-pet) border in a deep blue-green hue at the top and bottom edges. Adorned with gold zari bands featuring “Annapakshi motifs”and “Kuyil kan motifs (diamond mesh pattern)”, framed by “thuthiri poo motifs”, it radiates pure elegance. A saddle brown band (a medium dark shade of orange), enhanced with "gold zari geometric lines" and accented by "gold zari paisley anklets," gracefully concludes with a "deep ruby-colored selvedge," adding a captivating finishing touch.
Saree Pallu: The gold zari pallu glistens in contrast to the two-tone color base, reflecting the captivating design from the border. Additionally, bands of "leaping horses," interspersed with "paisley & rudraksham butta pillars" in gold zari, add an extra layer of elegance. The divided pallu field showcases cream and orange "circular frames" embellished with "lion," "deer," and "horse motifs," intricately connected by delicate "floral vines." This exquisite weaving reflects unparalleled artistry and unwavering dedication.
Saree blouse: Completing this ensemble, the saree comes with an unstitched blouse in the same two-tone color scheme, echoing the elegance of the saree's body and mirroring the border's grace.

COTTON CARE
• It is advisable to only dry-clean our Sarees. Use mild detergent to hand wash Cotton Sarees.
WASH, DRY & IRON PURE SILK THE RIGHT WAY
• For first three washes, dry cleaning is advisable for silk fabrics.
• If ever silk is washed in water, ensure it is washed in soft lukewarm water using a good neutral soap only.
• Squeeze lightly by hand to remove water after washing.
• Always dry the silk in shade only on a flat surface instead of hanging.
• Use low to medium heat while ironing.
• Always iron silk on the reverse side.
• Never spray water to dampen silk before ironing as it may cause water spots on the fabric.
• Do not wash the stains with water, instead give it for dry cleaning.
STORE PURE SILKS THE RIGHT WAY
• Store your Silk in a clean and dry environment using Cotton bags; avoid plastic covers.
• Avoid direct contact with wood.
• Protect silk from insects, dust, excessive moisture and light.
• Periodically (every 3-6 months) expose silks to fresh air and store after reversing the folds.
• Wrap Silk Sarees in cotton cloth or brown paper to avoid blackening of zari.
• Instead of Naphthalene balls, keep silica gel sachets in storage racks.
