The White saree with red border is almost like a Geographical Index tag that we have seen attached with the Bengali beauties of our nation and this dates back to the times when GI tags were not even a popular term. These sarees have inspired designers to dress up their models, celebrity clients, patrons, and even the actors whenever the story had any resemblances to the Bengali culture. For example, the famous white saree with red border look that Neeta Lulla, the ace Indian designer gave to Aishwarya Rai and Madhuri Dixit in the cult popular song Dola Re Dola, in Devdas!
In fact, the true Kora saree look was more prominently held up years later by the costume designer of the thriller Kahani, where Vidya Balan is draped in a white saree with red border as she executes the annihilation and then seamlessly blends with the crowd of women wearing similar sarees during the sindur khela ceremony of Dussehra.
Red border on white saree a Cult Popular Look
This combination gains extreme popularity during the Bengali weddings, inspiring people from other cultures and ethnic backgrounds to also wear this ethereal combination and look perfect. The other time when it sure hits the popularity charts is during the Durga Puja or the Sharadotsav as they call it. This keeps inspiring brands like ours too to inspire more and more feminine damsels to try this look. Of course, at JDS we also try to inspire our weavers and artisans make a better version each time they are working on a design or weave using these classic combinations. In fact, we would like to remind you that during the countdown to the annual Durga Puja festival, we also wrote a detailed blog on this classy look to inspire more women to try it in a silk banarasi handloom saree and look more royal and charming. If you are finding it difficult to find the same, here is the shortcut. Read our article about red and white banarasi saree for durga puja .

If you see her who ensemble, you will see the glimpse of the dewy new neighbor who is beautiful yet has an aura that commands reverence. For her entire get up, she kept holding on to her roots. Very simply yet nicely draped in the popular Nivi style with an open pallu, her saree has a pure white body with drop shaped zari pattern all over. The red border is wide and has very fine zari floral pattern woven all over. The saree has a lot of intricate work but does not look even a tad bit busy, something that we take pride in owning as our and our artisan’s design genius, where we try to adhere to the timelessness of the weave while injecting the contemporary trends and asks, all at the same time shining forth with our own individuality.
Ishita has held on to her individuality too as she kept her makeup very soft and natural with a sleek center parted hair bun which she adorned with some vermilion. Her temple jewelry is simply stunning and we love how the gold tone complements that of the saree and adds to the regal looks. In one sentence, that twirl where she takes the pallu and drapes it around her shoulder, true Indian Goddess who needs no excess to shine.
