Leheriya saree is a famous Indian textile craft that belongs to Rajasthan. The design pattern on these sarees is inspired by the expanse of the desert landscape of that region. The word ‘leheriya’ in Rajasthani means 'wave’. These sarees embody Rajasthani life and the pattern of waves made by blowing wind on the surface of sand dunes. The diagonal stripe or chevron pattern in these sarees is created by systematically dying tied cloth, leaving wavy designs in varied colours. Leheriya patterns were once worn by Rajasthani royalty as turbans. Making these complex systems of vibrant colours in Leheriya sarees is a laborious job and can take upto a month to complete. Brands like Kastiel, Rani Saahiba, Rajasthani Bandej, Pinarth, and Kwatchi offer these sarees in various innovative contemporary patterns, including the classic diagonal stripes. You can choose from the different fabric options such as Cotton, Pure Silk, Pure Cotton, Chiffon, Georgette, Cotton Silk, and Art Silk. Primarily worn in chiffon or georgette, the vibrant colours used in these sarees make them suitable for celebrations and festivals. However, they are quite comfortable to carry as everyday office wear. You can browse through an extensive collection and shop for your choice of Leheriya saree online.
