Paithani silk sarees are one of the most regal and luxurious handloom sarees from India, known for their rich colors, intricate zari work, and signature peacock or floral motifs. Woven in Maharashtra, especially in the town of Paithan (Aurangabad district), they are often called the "Pride of Maharashtra."

Vibrant colors: Often in striking combinations like purple-gold, green-red, or magenta-yellow.
Reversible border & pallu: Identical on both sides—a sign of authentic handweaving.
Butti work: Tiny motifs scattered across the body.
Heirloom quality: Often passed down generations.
