]]> A royal  marvel of the Indian textile industry is the traditional Kota Doria. The art of weaving cotton in a structured check pattern as an open weave has been passed on through the generations, the beginning of which was never recorded in written texts. The square Khat pattern gives the Kota Dori its distinct feature that differentiates it from other hand woven crafts.

Kota, a town situated in eastern Rajasthan hints at the origin or cultivation of the craft itself. The town and areas around it  hosts several craft clusters that spend months delicately weaving saris known as “Masurias” derived from the possibility of  weavers migrating from Mysore known by the same name. Directly translated from the Hindi word meaning “threads,” the Dori or Doria are woven with magical skill and precision, a regular visual treat.
