Onion Pink Sungudi Batik Saree with Fern Motifs

Description

Onion Pink Sungudi Batik Saree with Fern Motifs and Framed Paisley Pallu

White fern sprays and paisley motifs trail freely across this onion pink base, giving the body an open, natural rhythm. As the design moves toward the edge, a paisley scroll border takes over, running alongside fine gold zari lines.

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 fern, paisley, and floral rosette 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 takes a structured turn — a framed panel bordered in the same paisley scroll, with fern sprays and floral rosettes filling the centre. It gives the pallu a tidy, well-composed finish while keeping the same motifs consistent from body to end-piece.

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.
