Sungadi Red Saree

Sungudi saree is a traditional handwoven cotton saree that originates from Madurai, Tamil Nadu. It is known for its unique tie-and-dye (bandhani) design and intricate dotted patterns created by skilled artisans. These sarees are lightweight, soft, and comfortable—perfect for daily wear in hot climates. The process of making a Sungudi saree involves tying thousands of tiny knots on the fabric before dyeing it, resulting in beautiful dotted motifs and vibrant colors. Traditionally, natural dyes were used, and the sarees featured earthy tones and contrast borders with zari work. Today, Sungudi sarees have evolved with modern patterns and color combinations while still preserving their cultural charm and timeless elegance.
