Leheriya Sarees: The Colours and Waves of Rajasthan
Some sarees immediately remind you of a place. Leheriya sarees do exactly that. The flowing wave patterns, bright colours, and light fabrics bring to mind the festivals, streets, and traditions of Rajasthan.
Leheriya comes from the word "leher," which means wave. The soft stripes running across the fabric are created through a traditional tie and dye process that has been practiced in Rajasthan for generations. Every saree carries the beauty of handmade work and the joy of colour.
At 9thara, our Leheriya collection brings together traditional designs and modern fabrics, making these sarees easy to wear for festivals, celebrations, and everyday occasions.
The Craft Behind Leheriya
Leheriya is created by carefully tying the fabric before it is dyed. The tied sections resist the colour while the remaining fabric absorbs it, creating the wave patterns that make these sarees instantly recognizable.
No two sarees look exactly alike. Small differences in the patterns are part of the handmade process and add to the charm of the saree.
For generations, artisans in Rajasthan have continued this craft, keeping the tradition alive through their skill and experience.
