Birds in circles of colour, woven in red. Handloom Rajkot Patola from Gujarat.

A Chhabdi Bhat Heirloom in Red Multicolour

Step into the world of Patola, where every thread is dyed before it is woven, and the pattern lives inside the yarn itself long before it ever touches the loom.

This exquisite Rajkot Patola saree is woven in the traditional Chhabdi Bhat design, in a vivid multicolour combination, crafted in pure handwoven Patola silk. Rendered through the pure single ikat handloom technique, it unfolds in a column of large round medallions across a red field, each cradling a trio of graceful birds in magenta, mustard-gold or coral and sky blue, framed by a fine floral diamond border and a vividly multicolour pallu of floral oval medallions, finished with a radiant orange-gold zari band.

Rows of round Chhabdi medallions alternate in magenta, mustard-gold and coral, each enclosing a trio of stylised birds facing one another in ivory, blue and green against the vivid red ground. The border deepens into maroon, patterned with a fine trellis of small flowering sprigs, before the pallu opens into a row of oval floral medallions in alternating orange and magenta, and finally a broad, radiant orange-gold zari band. Each figure and medallion takes shape through the painstaking resist-dyeing of the weft yarns before weaving, a pure single ikat technique that demands exceptional precision to bring every motif into crisp focus on the loom. The saree is finished with a fringe of hand-tied deep red silk tassels, strung along a delicate crocheted edge.

Preserving Your Heritage - To honor the artistry of your Patola, cradle it in soft cotton or breathable muslin, ensuring it is refolded every few months to keep the silk supple and free of permanent creases. Guard this treasure from the reach of perfumes, dampness, and the harsh glare of direct sun. Professional dry cleaning is advised to maintain the ethereal luster of the zari and the integrity of the silk. In every thread of Patola, a legacy of craft is preserved.

A Note on Handmade Beauty

No two handcrafted sarees are ever exactly alike. Subtle variations in colour, texture, and finish are part of their charm, the quiet signature of the hands that created them. Colors and textures may also appear slightly different depending on lighting, photography, screen settings, and other viewing conditions.

Every motif tells a story. Every thread carries the artisan's touch. And when you drape it, that story becomes yours.
