What is a Sungudi saree and how is it made?

The Chinnalapatti Sungudi saree, also known as the Madurai Sungudi saree, is a timeless symbol of Tamil Nadu’s rich textile heritage. Originating from the towns of Madurai and Chinnalapatti, these pure cotton sarees are admired for their tie-and-dye dotted patterns, lightweight texture, and vibrant color contrasts. Their signature Ganga-Jamuna border is created through the kattakatrathu process, where artisans dye the borders separately to achieve a graceful two-tone effect. After dyeing, each saree is sun-dried, block-printed, and iron-finished for a crisp, elegant drape — perfect for both daily wear and festive occasions.
