About
A sheer, lightweight cotton-and-zari saree from the Coimbatore region, valued for its transparent, airy texture that keeps it cool and comfortable in South India's hot climate.
Did you know? Kovai Kora's deliberately sheer weave means the saree is worn with a coloured underskirt showing through the fabric — the transparency is a designed feature of the weave, not a flaw.
