anbhule pzaithani yeola
- Paithani sarees are made of silk thread and zari and look exactly the same on both sides. So be warned if you find threads showing on the reverse.
- The most common Paithani motifs include peacocks, lotus, parrots, flowers and vines.
- Paithanis are found only in basic colours like red, yellow, blue, purple, peach-pink, green and magenta as the threads are dyed by the weavers using vegetable dyes.
- Because of the manual nature of the weaving process, no two Paithanis are ever exactly the same. There will always be minute variations in design.

Price range
Passed on from one generation to the other like precious jewels, these heirloom sarees can cost anywhere from Rs.7,000 to Rs.250,000. The sarees have such a high value primarily because they are usually made from pure silk thread and the zari work on the border is usually drawn from real gold or silver. Bridal sarees often have precious gems and pearls sewn onto the border.

Care guide
The only thing you need to remember while caring for a Paithani is to wrap it in soft cloth or mul and keep it away from harsh sunlight; do not wash it after every use and dry clean only if necessary.
