Navy Sungudi Batik Saree with Fern Motifs

Navy Sungudi Batik Saree with Fern Motifs and Diamond Floral Pallu

There’s something almost botanical about this one — the body is scattered with cream fern-like sprays and small floral bursts on deep navy, giving it a lighter, airier feel than a dense allover print. Then the pallu changes register entirely, opening into a bold diamond-shaped floral medallion surrounded by circular rosettes, all threaded through with gold zari.

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 fern and floral 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 body stays light and open with its fern sprays scattered across navy, while the border carries a mango motif running alongside gold zari lines. The pallu is the real showpiece here — a striking diamond floral medallion flanked by rosette motifs, with zari stripes giving it structure and a proper festive finish without weighing the saree down for daily wear.

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.
