{"product_id":"red-maheshwari-cotton-saree-with-gold-zari-buttas","title":"Red Maheshwari Cotton Saree","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis is a deep red Maheshwari saree with small gold zari buttas woven across the body and a gold zari border running through to the pallu. Tonal rather than contrast — the red carries all the way through, and the gold is the only other colour on it. It is a cotton-silk blend, light enough to wear through a long day and warm enough in tone to read as festive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat you are buying\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFabric:\u003c\/strong\u003e Maheshwari silk cotton — a cotton-silk blend, not pure cotton and not pure silk\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColour:\u003c\/strong\u003e deep red throughout, body and pallu\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWork:\u003c\/strong\u003e gold zari buttas across body and pallu, with a woven gold zari border\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e tasselled pallu end\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhich occasions this saree suits\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePuja and temple visits:\u003c\/strong\u003e red is among the most traditional colours for religious occasions, and the fabric stays comfortable through long periods of sitting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eKarva Chauth:\u003c\/strong\u003e the colour is right and the weight is manageable for a full day\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNavratri:\u003c\/strong\u003e red is one of the nine Navratri colours — check the published colour list for the current year if you are following the day-by-day sequence\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGriha pravesh and family functions:\u003c\/strong\u003e festive without being heavy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFestive daytime gatherings:\u003c\/strong\u003e the zari buttas are small, so it reads as considered rather than loud\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to style a red Maheshwari saree\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBlouse\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGold or antique gold picks up the zari and is the most natural pairing. Black gives it a sharper, more modern line. Bottle green is the strongest true contrast. If you prefer tonal, go one shade deeper into maroon rather than matching the red exactly — an exact match looks flat in photographs. Avoid orange and rani pink: two warm tones this close together read muddy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eJewellery\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAntique gold, temple gold or kundan sit naturally with the zari and with red. Pearl works if you want to soften it. Keep to one clear piece — a tonal saree with a woven border does not need competition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFootwear and finish\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJuttis, kolhapuris or block heels.

It reads especially rich on wheatish and deep skin tones, and the gold zari keeps it from going heavy on fair complexions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSize, length and drape\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe saree is 6.3 metres long.
