The finest of homegrown cottons go into fashioning this variety of sarees from the Eastern Deccan, called the Purbasthali. Usually dyed in tender pastel shades and tints with local floral motifs woven in into the foreground, this one comes worked with glittering zari all along the border and across the endpiece. The petals on the endpiece are gigantic, while the weave on the border and across the field are like waves of tendrils giving this saree a singular feminine appeal.
