Amber Yellow Ghatchola Bandhani Zari Georgette Saree

An amber yellow georgette Ghatchola saree in real Bandhani, cut 6.5 metres including a bottle green blouse piece. Zari lines cross the deep amber body into a checked grid, with a green Bandhani dot tied into every other square and a gold zari buti in the ones between. The dots are tie-dyed by hand — the fabric is still crushed around each knot where the dye couldn't reach.

The lower border opens into a wide woven zari band, and the bottle green blouse piece carries the same zari grid and a heavy matching border.

Amber is the marigold end of the festive palette — the saturated, lamp-lit warm that holds up in the evening when paler yellows wash out. Green against it is the oldest contrast in Rajasthani dress, and the reason this one looks traditional rather than merely bright.

What you're getting

• Fabric: Georgette
• Colour: Amber yellow with gold zari, and a bottle green blouse piece
• Craft: Ghatchola, with zari checks, real tie-dyed Bandhani and a woven zari border
• Blouse: Bottle green blouse fabric with zari work, included in the 6.5 metres
• Length: 6.5 metres, including blouse fabric

Where to wear it

Navratri and garba nights, Diwali, weddings as a guest, sangeet and mehendi functions, pujas and family celebrations.

How to style it

Gold jewellery matches the zari; oxidised silver and green stones pick up the Bandhani dots if you want the traditional Rajasthani look. The bottle green blouse piece is the contrast the saree is built around — a yellow blouse would flatten it.

Caring for it

Dry clean only. Zari needs gentle handling: steam iron on low heat, avoid pressing directly over the zari, and store the saree folded in a muslin cover away from direct sunlight.

Please note: slight colour variation from the images is possible due to camera settings and lighting. Returns and exchanges are not accepted on this ground.

Frequently asked questions

Is this real Bandhani or a Bandhani print?
Real Bandhani. The dots are tie-dyed — small sections of fabric are tied off by hand before dyeing, so the colour cannot reach them. This is not a printed imitation.

How can I tell real Bandhani from a print?
Tie-dyed Bandhani leaves the fabric crushed and puckered around each knot, and the dots vary slightly in size and shape. A print is flat and perfectly uniform. On this saree you can see and feel the texture where every dot was tied.

What is a Ghatchola saree?
Ghatchola is a traditional Rajasthani style in which zari lines divide the fabric into a grid of squares, with a motif set inside each one. It's worn at weddings and festive occasions across Rajasthan and Gujarat.

What fabric is this saree made of?
Georgette, which is light with a soft, flowing drape. It is not a silk or a silk blend.

Is this saree good for Navratri or garba?
Yes. Amber and green is a traditional Navratri pairing, and georgette is light enough to move in through a long evening.

What is zari?
Zari is metallic thread. Here it forms the checked grid across the body, the butis inside the squares, the woven border, and the work on the bottle green blouse piece.

Does this saree come with a blouse?
Yes. A bottle green blouse piece with zari work is included in the 6.5 metre length. It needs to be stitched to your measurements; a stitched blouse is not included.

What is the length of this saree?
6.5 metres in total, including the blouse fabric.

Why do the Bandhani dots vary slightly?
Because each one is tied by hand. Small variations in size, shape and depth of colour are the signature of the craft, not a defect — a perfectly even pattern would mean it was printed.

What jewellery goes with it?
Gold to match the zari, or oxidised silver and green stones for the traditional Rajasthani look.

How do I care for a Bandhani zari saree?
Dry clean only. Steam iron on low heat, avoid pressing over the zari, and store it folded in a muslin cover.

How long will delivery take, and is COD available?
Orders are dispatched within 1–2 business days and delivered across India in 3–7 business days. Prepaid orders ship free. Cash on Delivery is available with a nominal handling charge of ₹59.

Can I return or exchange this saree?
You must raise a return or exchange within 48 hours of delivery. Returns are accepted for damaged or defective products, with images shared. You can also exchange the saree if it isn't right for you, as long as it's unused, with tags, packaging and invoice intact. Slight colour variation due to screen and lighting isn't grounds for a return.
