Kota Doria sarees are a lightweight, handwoven fabric originating from the Kota region of Rajasthan, India. The fabric is known for its distinctive checkered pattern, referred to as khats, created by weaving cotton and silk yarns in different densities. This unique weaving technique results in a sheer, airy, and soft fabric that is comfortable to wear, especially in hot weather.
This unique weave gives the fabric its delicate, airy, and lightweight quality, making it a popular choice for warm weather. The image shows a Kota Doria saree in a pink color with a pattern that is characteristic of either a bandhani or a leheriya print.
