2. A Legacy of Craftsmanship
The Kota Doriya saree traces its roots to the 17th century, when Mughal weavers from Shikohabad migrated to Kota under royal patronage. Known locally as Masuria (as it was once exported via Calcutta/Masulipatnam), this fabric combines silk and cotton threads to create its signature translucent, grid-like weave. Over centuries, Kota evolved into a symbol of understated grace—worn by royalty and commoners alike for its comfort and sophistication. At Saree Story, we honor this legacy by collaborating directly with master weavers and block printers, ensuring every piece carries forward generations of skill and soul.
