Parvai Silk Cotton Sari : Rajeshwari
Rajeshwari : A Parvai Original
Rajeshwari was developed in-house at Parvai as an exceptionally light, refined sari designed for repeated wear. It is woven with a single-ply mulberry silk warp and fine 80s-count cotton weft, with selected cotton yarns introduced into the warp as structural design lines. The contrast between lustrous silk and matte silk creates a subtle ribbed texture that shifts gently with light and movement.
The sari is framed by 10-inch borders with a contrasting extra-weft silk twill band encased in 2 parallel bands of fine triangular woven motifs informed by the geometric language of Kutch and Dogra embroidery. The same vocabulary continues into the pallu, and is done using alternating coloured cotton yarns creating a measured, contemporary rhythm.
Rajeshwari required nearly four months of design development, sampling and pre-loom preparation, and each sari takes approximately 12 days to weave by hand. It is woven by Shadman Ansari, a young artisan from a weaving family, on a dedicated loom set up in his home for the project.

Care & Product Notes
A few things we would like you to know
Care
Air your Parvai sari after wear and store it in a clean cotton or muslin cover, away from direct sunlight, moisture and plastic. Refold it from time to time so that the same creases do not remain under stress, especially along zari-rich borders and pallus. Heavier saris are best stored folded or gently rolled rather than hung for long periods. Clean only when necessary, preferably through a trusted specialist familiar with fine silk and handwoven textiles.
Handwoven Character
Every Parvai textile is handmade and may carry slight variations in weave, texture, colour, motif placement, finish or dimensions. These are natural to the making process and are part of the textile’s character, not defects. Measurements and weights are approximate.
Colour
Colours may appear differently across devices due to variations in screen brightness, resolution, colour settings and lighting. If you would like a closer colour reference or any clarification before purchase, please contact us.
