India is home to people belonging to a different caste and creed. Each social group has their own set of rituals for which there would be a special outfit required. Like Gujaratis have a typical wedding attire for brides comprising of a gharchola and panetar saree. Panetar saree is ideally supposed to be a gift from the bride’s maternal uncle while gharchola is gifted by the bride’s new in-laws.

How does a Panetar saree look?

Panetar saree is characterized by pure white color. It was historically made from Gajji silk but with evolving trends it is now made from all types of fabrics like crepe, georgette, organza and chiffon as well. Now almost all Panetar sarees also have a distinctive red colour border on it. The border has a meticulous artwork in the form of zari, kundan, cutwork or sequin work.

How is a panetar saree worn?

Panetar saree is worn like any other saree or sari. The only difference in this Indian saree style and others is that it is generally worn under the gharchola signifying the bride’s beginning of a new journey as she gets married. A panetar saree’s paloo is taken from back to front from the right shoulder. The new way of carrying this Indian saree style is like a lehenga.
