The body of the sari is plain and woven in orange and zari threads. The zari threads gives fullness to the sari. The border of the sari is woven with zari threads on both sides and is a thin floral pattern.
The clincher of the sari is its rich border that has varying motifs both secular and religious. The pallav is woven in zari, green and brown color threads. The interesting pattern is the rangoli pattern that forms an auspicious element of the north Indian religious life. These are large floral patterns in circular form. Another interesting depiction is the rural life with village women splendidly dressed and facing each other, with lotus flowers in their hands. Below these women are three fishes. All these interesting motifs in one sari makes the sari a treasure to possess. The beauty of the sari is the color scheme depicted on the sari. Together with its light texture it makes a great wear.
