Chandrakor Kalanjali Paithani Saree

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Chandrakor saree?
A saree woven with chandrakor bootis — small crescent-moon motifs repeated across the body. The name comes from chandra (moon) and kor (crescent), the same form as the traditional Maharashtrian crescent bindi.

What is a Chandrakor Paithani?
A Paithani-style saree using the crescent booti as its body motif, typically paired with a geometric rather than figurative pallu. It is the more understated end of the Paithani range.

What does the chandrakor motif symbolise?
The crescent moon is associated with calm, femininity and auspicious beginnings, which is why chandrakor sarees are traditionally worn for ceremonies, poojas and weddings.

What fabric is this saree?
Soft tana silk — finer and more fluid than heavy Paithani silk, giving a drape that falls close to the body.

Does it come with a blouse piece?
Yes, an unstitched blouse fabric is included so you can choose your own neckline and sleeve style.

What should I wear with a Chandrakor saree?
Traditional Maharashtrian jewellery works best — a pearl nath, kolhapuri saaj, and a crescent chandrakor bindi that echoes the motif. Keep the blouse plain so it does not compete with the all-over bootis.

How should I care for it?
Dry clean recommended. Store folded in cotton cloth, and refold along different lines periodically so creases do not set into the zari bootis.

Dry clean only. Store folded in soft muslin, away from damp and direct sunlight, and keep perfume away from embroidery and zari.
