About
An exceptionally lightweight cotton-silk blend fabric woven in a distinctive checkered pattern called khat, prized for being sheer and airy enough for Rajasthan's hot climate while still holding intricate motifs.
Did you know? Kota Doria weaving actually originated in Mysore under a Rajput general in the 17th century and was brought to Kota, where it took on the town's name — making its "local" identity itself a product of centuries-old migration.
