Kota Saree With Applique Work

Kota sarees are woven from a blend of cotton and silk threads, forming a distinctive square-checked pattern called khat. Onto this delicate base, artisans apply appliqué work — decorative fabric cutouts that are hand-stitched or machine-sewn onto the saree to create intricate motifs. These designs often include floral patterns, paisleys, geometric shapes, or even contemporary themes.
