Embrace the Elegance & Softness of Jaypore's Maheswari Silk Cotton Sarees
Throughout the history of Indian crafts, we can see various sarees that have garnered fame because of their intricacies. Among them, Maheshwari sarees have always been in the limelight and are becoming a global phenomenon. A saree once reserved to be worn by the royals, Maheswari's uniqueness lies in its sheer lustre and lightweight feel. It was Queen Ahilyabai Holkar who supposedly gave royal orders to the weavers of Surat and Mandu to weave an exquisite saree that could be gifted to the royal guests. From then onwards, the craft gained prominence throughout the country, becoming a cultural symbol.
Curating a collection of Maheshwari silk cotton sarees at Jaypore has been no less than a cultural celebration. Made from premium fabrics, these sarees are crafted using the craft's traditional weaving technique. We have infused a touch of contemporary design aesthetic that further elevates the sarees. Each of these sarees is made in beautiful colours to suit your style.
The art of Maheshwari
Back in the 18th century, Queen Ahilyabai Holkar reigned supreme in the Indore and Maheswar regions. She invited traditional weavers from the Surat and Mandu region to craft a nine-yard special saree to be worn by the females of the Malwa court that can also be gifted to the royal guests. Thus, paved the way for the iconic rich and delicate Maheswari sarees. It is believed that Queen Ahilyabai Holkar, a trained designer, designed the first-ever Maheswari saree.
Over the period, the craft gained popularity and became popular globally. What makes the sarees distinct is their unmissable shine, lightweight feel, and unique motifs. While initially, the sarees were made from pure silk, gradually, the weavers started using pure cotton and a mix of cotton and silk yarns as well. The motifs on the sarees are inspired by the details of Maheswar wall forts. The popular motifs and patterns that can be seen on the sarees include Chatia, Chameli ka Phool, diamond, and brick patterns.

The Process of Weaving Maheshwari
As much as the Maheshwari saree looks soft and lightweight, it is much more complex in its weaving. It involves seven steps before you can adorn the sarees. The first step towards weaving the Maheshwari saree is to design the motifs.
Once the design is finalized, raw materials are sourced from various locations and processed. They are then dyed to get the desired colours. Once the yarns are dried, they are spun in the spinning wheel and set in the loom. After this, the master artisans start weaving the sarees. To complete one simple Maheshwari saree, the weavers can take anywhere between three to ten days.
How to Style a Maheshwari Saree?
Whether it is a pure Maheshwari silk saree or a cotton one, styling them is effortless. These sarees' opulent look is enough to make you look regal. You just need to synchronize your overall look for an elevated feel. Let us take a look at some of the styling tips:
- The key to looking beautiful in a saree lies in its draping style. Try various draping styles and ensure the pleats and falls are neatly done. This will help you to get an elegant look.
- You can pair a dupatta or a shawl along with your saree. This will add depth and volume to your look.
- If you decide to wear accessories, choose matching ones. You can opt for our versatile collection of silver jewelry and other accessories.
- Matching your footwear with your saree is essential. This offers a refined look. You can choose from Jaypore's exclusive range of mojris, juttis, and more.
Essential Care Guidelines for Maheshwari Silk Cotton Sarees
From Maheshwari cotton sarees to pure silk ones, attention and care are needed to maintain them. This ensures that they are well maintained and extend their longevity. Let us take a look at some of the crucial care instructions:
- Before washing your clothes, always read the wash care label thoroughly. Following proper wash care instructions ensures zero damage to the fabric.
- Never use any harsh chemicals and fragrances on women's clothing. This causes discolouration and damages the fabric.
- Keep your clothes in a dedicated place free from dirt and moisture. A moisture-laden place is a breeding ground for mould and unwanted insect infestation. Use mothballs to avoid any infestation.
- For any stain removal, use a moist cloth to rub it off gently.
- Never dry your sarees under direct sunlight. This will cause discolouration and damage.
- If the sarees are delicate in nature, dry clean them to prevent damage to the fabric and the intricate work.
