Description
Kota Doria, also called Kota Dori, is a distinctive woven fabric with a unique square-checked pattern crafted on fine silk, cotton or a blend of these two fibres. The cotton provides strength to the fabric, while silk makes it more lustrous and lends it a softer touch.
The name Kota Doria indicates the origin of this weaving craft. ‘Kota’, a town situated in southern part of Rajasthan, hosts several clusters, which have been weaving delicate muslin saris, called Kota Doria or Kota Masuria, where the word ‘Dori’ literally translated from Hindi, means ‘threads’.
Kota has the distinction of being one of the three fine count cotton producing regions in the northern part of India, the other two being Chanderi and Maheshwar.
The fabric is made up of square checks in a variety of sizes and colours. Kota Doria has also been deemed as a Geographical Indication (GI) for its uniqueness and its connection to the traditions and customs of the people of the region.
