Mysore Silk Sarees from Pothys

A silk saree is a sense of pride for any Indian women for its exquisite design and luxurious lustre. Among the various types of silk sarees in India, ‘Mysore silk’ is known for its minimalistic design, vibrant colours and the rich feel of the fabric. This hand spun traditional silk is one of the purest forms of silk in India with the usage of pure silk and 100% pure gold zari (a golden coloured thread containing 65% of silver and 0.65% of gold).

Mysore silk is the trademark for the silks manufactured by Karnataka Silk Industry Corporation (KSIC). The making of these exquisite silks can be dated back to 1912 when the maharaja of Mysore imported 32 looms from Switzerland to manufacture silks just to meet the requirements of the royal family and the ornamental fabrics of his armed forces. However, the organised production started only in 1980, after the factory was handed over to Karnataka Silk Industries Corporation which is commonly known as KSIC. At present,the Mysore silk factory produces more than 35,000 metres of pure silk fabric per month and nearly 4,25,000 meters per year, which are made into beautiful sarees and dress materials.

These Mysore silk sarees are going through many changes and makeovers by adding new styles with a range of colours to make the already popular silk form even more attractive and tempting. There are around 300 wide varieties of colours used in making these sarees with almost 115 vivid design combinations. The beauty of these sarees lies in the intricate work of the ‘Zari’, which is the golden lace border running throughout the edges of the saree.

Now-a-days, some of the Indian traditional designs like Bhandhini and kasturi embroidery are infused into the making of Mysore silk sarees to cater to a wider audience from different regions. To preserve the authenticity of these silk sarees KSIC has introduced ‘Fusion Label’ which is a Nano-technology hot press which has made counterfeiting impossible. This revolutionary initiative is on the lines by the similar decision taken Silk Mark Organisation of India of the Union ministry of textiles.

If you want to own these aristocratic silk sarees which has adorned the kings and queens of Mysore for decades, you don’t have to travel to Mysore. Pothys have stocked up the best of these silk sarees in wider colour combinations to suit your taste and preferences. Pay a visit to our showroom or our website if you wish to witness the elegance and beauty of this magical fabric .

                                                                         Eid Mubarak!

Eid is celebrated to mark the end of Ramzan, the Islamic holy month of fasting. Eid-Ul-Fitr in Arab means ‘Festival of breaking the fast’. This festival symbolizes faith to the Muslims.

During the month of Ramzan people not only restrain themselves from food, but also abstain from all kind of evil activities. The month full of fasting ends with Eid, as a reward for the ones who fasted. Though the main festivity falls on the first day, Eid is celebrated for three days.

On this day, Muslims from across the world gather for prayer celebration, for a three day celebration where families and friends get together, rejoice and share their Ramadan experience. It is a fun and significant occasion; one that people will remember until the next time Ramadan comes around.

Special prayer services are held on this day in large congregation halls or in open fields. Muslims from all walks of life attend the prayers dressed in new clothes, wearing their favourite fragrance. Afterwards, when people gather at home with friends and family, they send gifts to each other such as sweets, cash and garments.

Divine Shades of Gold- from Pothys

In India, Gold is adored, loved and worshipped!

India's love affair with gold is eternal, across centuries and millennia. It is much more to us than just a precious metal. - It is part of our culture and our belief system.

In Hindu folklore, some of our goddesses are described as golden-hued, the definitive in beauty. Gold, as the source of purity and splendour, is referred to as the seed of Agni, the God of Fire. Manu the ancient law-giver decreed that golden ornaments must be worn for particular ceremonies and occasions.

It is thus considered a sacred item in the Hindu way of life and is a necessity in every holy function, the reason being that Gold is pure having passed through fire in its process of evolution. Indians perceive the metal as a representation of purity, prosperity and good fortune. Hopeful and positive, Gold adds a luminosity and warmth to everything with which it is associated.

It is thus not surprising at all that gold has become an integral part of modern day events and functions. Given its versatility, it can be used in different designs, paired with different colours and accessories. Just a hint of Gold can enhance one’s look immediately. Pothys has many a design in the different shades of this divine colour.

This traditional maroon and gold silk saree with intricately woven pallu will make you praiseworthy! Add a glamour factor to any festive occasion, in this art silk saree with a dash of purple.

For both a grand yet stylish look, this half and half silk saree with rich zari pallu is a perfect choice. The leaf motif all over the body and stone works on the pallu add beauty to the brilliant hue of gold.

Celebrate the Festive joys of AADI with Discounted Buys and Dashing Styles

AADI is the monsoon festival month of South India.

The festival pays tribute to water's life-sustaining properties. For the blessing of mankind with peace, prosperity and happiness, Nature worship in the form of Amman deities are carried out to shower Nature’s bountiful grace on human beings. Prayers and pujas are offered to appease the powerful goddesses and seek their protection from the ominous aspects that are often linked with the month. This is an auspicious month when farmers begin to sow and the retailers begin to slash prices!

Aadiperukku is very special in the Kaveri delta. This festival is native to the perennial river basins of Tamil Nadu and major water source areas and is to celebrate the rising water levels due to the onset of monsoon, which is expected to occur customarily on the 18th day of the solar month, Aadi equivalent to the 2nd or 3 August every year. Hence “Padinettam perukku” – Padinettu signifies eighteen, and Perukku denotes rising. On this propitious day, Goddess Parvathi Devi is worshipped by offering different rice dishes.
