Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is Madhubani art?
A: Madhubani, also called Mithila art, is a folk-art tradition from Bihar. It is known for bold outlines, rich colour, and detailed motifs inspired by nature, daily life, and mythology.
Q: Are these sarees made from Khadi?
A: Yes. These sarees pair Madhubani-inspired artwork with Khadi, a hand-spun and handwoven fabric known for its breathable texture and natural slub.
Q: Is every Madhubani motif exactly the same?
A: Small variations in motif placement, linework, and colour can occur, especially where the artwork or print is finished by hand. This gives each saree its own character.
Q: Why does the Khadi fabric feel textured?
A: The slight irregularity comes from hand-spun yarn and handloom weaving. It is a natural hallmark of Khadi, not a defect.
Q: How should I care for a Khadi Madhubani saree?
A: Hand wash gently in cold water with a mild detergent and dry in shade. Avoid bleach, long soaking, and harsh direct sunlight. Khadi becomes softer with gentle washing.
Q: Will the colour fade or the fabric shrink?
A: A little colour release on the first wash and slight initial shrinkage can be normal with handwoven cotton. Wash separately the first time and dry in shade.
Q: Is a blouse piece included?
A: Each saree's product details confirm whether a blouse piece is included.
