Deccan Elegance. Maharashtrian Small Checks Lugadi Saree - TaraChitra. Woven in a gentle interplay of dull green and yellow micro-checks, TaraChitra captures the essence of heritage in minimalism. A bold mustard and red border frames the body with clarity, while the pallu stands apart in striking white linear patterns flaunting the discipline of the Deccan loom. The Lugdi traces its origins to northern Karnataka and bordering regions of Maharashtra, particularly from Dharwad, a town steeped in cultural legacy and classical craft traditions. The lugdi fabric is light, airy and offers a crisp, composed fall. Traditionally worn in the Kasta or Nauvari drape these Lugdis have slowly transitioned to more contemporary draping styles. The saree is distinctively known for a plain minimalistic body complemented by contrast borders featuring temple-inspired or rudraksha motifs rendered in clean, linear geometry. Their timeless charm often embrace an earthy palette and minimalistic designs wrapped in subdued elegance.
