Bhairavi: 100 count Phulia with Statement Border
By Phulia's Padma Shri Cluster
Saree Story
I am Bhairavi. I am sung in the dark hours, when the night has not yet decided to become morning. My black body carries red stripes the way a raga carries its notes, one at a time and then all at once as the pallu opens. The gold resham border holds the meen motif, a mark the weavers of Phulia have pressed into their work for generations. My hundred-count cotton keeps me light through long days, settling into the wearer like a quiet habit. I do not wait for a special occasion. I am the occasion.
Handloom Perfection
Handloom sarees are made by human hands, not machines. Which means every piece carries the natural variations of the loom and the weaver, proof that someone, somewhere, made this just for you.
Description
Bhairavi is a deep black Phulia cotton with red stripes that build slowly across the body, growing denser and bolder as they approach the pallu. The red pallu arrives fully and without apology, framed by a layered gold and red resham border carrying the classic Phulia meen motif alongside rows of geometric detail. Made in fine 100-count cotton from Phulia, she is light to wear and serious in presence. She is the kind of saree that needs no occasion but elevates every one she attends.
Weaver
Days to make the saree
Every 100-count Phulia cotton saree takes around 8–12 days to complete. Fine cotton yarns demand patience at every stage—from preparing the warp to weaving each delicate pick by hand. What appears effortless when draped is the result of more than a week's work by artisans whose families have perfected this craft over generations.

Care Instructions
First Wash: Dry clean for the first wash to preserve the finish and the zari or resham border. Thereafter: Hand wash separately in cold water using a mild liquid detergent. Avoid soaking for long periods. Do Not: Use bleach, harsh detergents, or wring the saree aggressively, as fine-count cotton fibres deserve gentle handling. Drying: Dry in the shade, away from direct sunlight, to retain the richness of the colours. Ironing: Iron on a medium cotton setting while the saree is slightly damp, or use steam for the best finish. Storage: Fold neatly and store in a cool, dry place. If the saree has a zari border, wrap it in a soft muslin cloth and avoid storing it in plastic. Refold it occasionally to prevent permanent creases.
