The Garad saree—with its pristine white body, rich red border, and subtle gold highlights—is one of Bengal’s most cherished handloom treasures. Traditionally worn during auspicious occasions like Durga Puja and Lakshmi Puja, this saree symbolizes purity and grace. Owning a Garad is like holding a piece of Bengal’s cultural legacy—but caring for it properly is just as important to preserve its timeless beauty.
Garad sarees are woven from pure silk and feature delicate zari borders. Their light color makes them prone to stains and discoloration, while the silk requires gentle handling to maintain its natural sheen. With proper care, your Garad saree can last generations.
If your saree has lost some of its shine:
A Garad saree is not just a garment—it’s a symbol of devotion, culture, and heritage. With mindful care, your saree can remain as pristine and elegant as the day you first wore it, ready to be part of family rituals for generations to come.
