Drashti Ghanva

Drashti Ghanva is a Vastranand collection of 67 sarees for shoppers who want festive and occasion wear at everyday prices. It brings together embroidery, print, party wear, Kota, Gadwal, soft silk, Pochampally and tissue sarees, all sold factory-direct from Surat. Best sellers range from Rs 595 to Rs 1395, so it suits a wedding guest, a festival wardrobe or a gift.

What is in this collection

The collection mixes several weaves and finishes:

• Embroidery sarees (8) and print sarees (5) are the largest groups, including georgette and chiffon satin styles with sequins, thread work and cut work borders.
• Gadwal and Pochampally sarees in soft silk, with temple borders and Gadwal border prints.
• Kota sarees in Patola print Moonga Kota Doriya.
• Tissue sarees with gold zari and digital prints, plus party wear and soft silk Kalamkari designs, whose motifs draw on nature, mythology and cultural symbols.

How to choose

For a wedding or a puja, look at soft silk, Gadwal or zari border sarees. For a party or evening, sequins, net and embroidered georgette are the usual picks. For long hours and warm weather, a Kota or a light print saree is easier to carry. Check the border, the fabric and the pallu in the product photos before you decide.

Care

Follow the care label on each saree. Embroidered, sequin and zari sarees are best dry cleaned. Store them folded in a clean cotton cloth, away from damp, and refold them from time to time so the creases do not set.
