Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: What is the difference between simple Leheriya and Mothra?

Simple Leheriya features unidirectional diagonal resist-dyed stripes running across the body of the saree. Mothra is an intricate double-dyed technique where the fabric is tied and dyed diagonally in two intersecting directions, creating a delicate checkerboard or cross-hatched diamond wave pattern.

Q2: Which occasions are traditionally celebrated with Leheriya sarees?

Leheriya sarees are traditional favorites for monsoon and harvest festivals like Teej and Raksha Bandhan. Their cheerful colors and breezy silhouettes also make them popular for daytime wedding rituals like Haldi, Mehendi, and Sangeet celebrations.

Q3: How do Leheriya sarees differ from Bandhani sarees?

While both originate from the western Indian tie-and-dye family, Bandhani is made by plucking and tying tiny individual knots to form dots (bindis) and geometric motifs, whereas Leheriya is created by folding, rolling, and binding the fabric along the diagonal axis to yield continuous wave stripes.

Q4: How should I care for a pure georgette Leheriya saree with gota work?

We recommend dry cleaning only. Store your Leheriya saree folded inside a soft, breathable cotton or muslin bag away from direct sunlight to preserve the crispness of the gota work and maintain the richness of the dyes.
