Mustard Sungudi Batik Saree with Double Border

Description

Mustard Sungudi Batik Saree with Double Border and Framed Floral Panels

Mustard stretches out like a sun-warmed field here, and cream vine and leaf sprays trail across it the way wild creepers spread over open land, mango motifs woven quietly in between. As you move toward the edge, the border doesn’t stop at one row — a scallop edge gives way to a second row of mango swirl motifs, before the gold zari band finishes it off. It’s the kind of double-border treatment that makes the saree feel more considered without being loud about it.

What makes this a batik sungudi saree

This piece is made using the traditional clamp and wax-resist dyeing technique, with wax stamped onto the fabric in these detailed vine, leaf, and mango motifs before dyeing. As the wax handles through the process, it naturally develops fine cracks, letting the dye seep through in places — this is what gives batik work its signature crackle texture. No two pieces crackle exactly the same way, which is part of what makes each one genuinely one of a kind.

The pallu carries this same layered feeling forward — rather than one continuous design, it’s structured into framed floral panels, each bordered in mango motifs with a floral spray at the centre, gold zari stripes running alongside, and small floral burst motifs scattered in between. It gives the pallu a more architectural, put-together look while still staying wearable for daily use.

This saree comes without a blouse piece, so you’re free to pair it with whatever you already have on hand or get one stitched to match.

As with all our batik sungudi sarees, no two pieces are identical — the crackle pattern and motif placement will vary slightly from what’s shown in photos.

A note about the dyeing process
🌸 During the dyeing process, our sungudi sarees are traditionally dried on sand. Because of this, you may notice slight sand-coloured marks on some sarees. This is not a defect or a colour issue — these marks will disappear after the first wash.

Care instructions:

• Hand wash separately in cold water with mild detergent
• Avoid machine wash and harsh bleach
• Gently squeeze, dry in shade
• Avoid long soaking

Actual colour may appear slightly different from photos due to lighting and screen settings. Slight variations in weave, pattern placement, or colour tone are natural and expected in a handcrafted piece.
