In ikat, the yarns are resist-dyed in sections before weaving, so the pattern appears as the cloth is woven. Classic Khandua motifs include elephants, lions, kumbha (temple) and flowers.CareDry clean only. Store the saree wrapped in a soft cotton or muslin cloth, away from moisture. Refold it every few months so the silk and any zari do not crack along the folds. Do not spray perfume directly on silk or zari, and iron on low heat with a cloth in between.
