Dhaniakhali is one of the most well known destinations for saree lovers as it has a sizable cluster of traditional master weavers. The original saris of the region also called Dhonekhali saree quintessentially had a cream cotton base or body with an eye-catching thin colored border which could be green, orange or red. These borders were accompanied by stripes above or sometimes pointed serrated lines placed parallel. With time and also changes with pace and choices, it has transformed where various designs have emerged and weavers have adopted wider borders with jacquard patterns. Colors too have changed and women have now a wide range of design and palette to choose from and stand out.

The beauty of Bengal cottons lies in its placement of buttis or motifs which may be in different designs, shapes and threadwork. Earlier saris adopted traditional motifs while modern weavers have adopted contemporary tastes. A few have retained both of the old with the new to hold on to the emotional sentiment with a new fervor. This sari has a sublime ash base with a simple stylish feel where alpona (traditional motifs done in floors and walls of Bengali homes with rice paste) motifs in darker hue appear in the border and pallu brings a whiff of old charm with modern sophistication.
