Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is Ghor-Bari art?
A: Ghor-Bari is a Bengal-inspired folk-art style that draws on everyday village life, homes, horses, nature, and local storytelling. Its expressive motifs give each saree a warm, handmade character.
Q: Are all Ghor-Bari sarees hand-painted?
A: Not always. This collection includes hand-painted Ghor-Bari artwork as well as printed folk-art designs. Each product title and details identify the method used for that saree.
Q: What is the difference between hand-painted and printed Ghor-Bari designs?
A: Hand-painted motifs are worked individually, so linework, brush texture, and placement naturally vary. Printed designs reproduce the folk-art pattern with more consistent detail. Both celebrate the same Ghor-Bari visual tradition.
Q: Why can the motifs or colours vary slightly?
A: Hand-painted pieces naturally differ in brushwork and placement, while printed and handloom pieces can vary slightly by dye batch, weave, lighting, and screen settings. These small differences are part of their character.
Q: Are these sarees made with Khadi or handloom fabric?
A: Many pieces in this collection use Khadi or handloom fabric, but the exact fabric differs by product. Check each saree's product details for its fabric and weave.
Q: How should I care for a Ghor-Bari saree?
A: Hand wash gently in cold water with a mild detergent and dry in shade. Avoid bleach, long soaking, and direct sunlight. For hand-painted areas, do not scrub or brush the artwork.
Q: Is a blouse piece included?
A: Each saree's product details confirm whether a blouse piece is included.
