Lohita — Red Ajrakh-Inspired Modal Saree | Awadhalaya

Lohita is a deep madder red — the warm, earthy shade at the heart of ajrakh — on a soft modal you can reach for on an ordinary day.

The print is ajrakh-inspired and worked in that idiom — dense, symmetrical, built for a closer look. A solid black border frames it; the pallu ends in tassels.

• FABRIC & FEEL
  Soft modal with a gentle, silk-like sheen. It drapes close and fluid, easy to wear through a full day.
• THE PRINT
  Ajrakh-inspired, in the traditional madder-red-and-indigo palette. Slim leaf buti repeat across the body; the pallu opens into a large eight-point star medallion and bands of fine geometric motifs. Dense, symmetrical, and meant to be looked at closely.
• BEST WORN FOR
  An everyday saree that reads considered — work, a lunch, a gathering — and dressed up with the right silver, an evening just as easily.
• STYLING
  Made for oxidised silver — a choker, jhumkas, stacked bangles. The styling blouse shown is in a matching ajrakh-inspired print. (Blouse inclusion to be confirmed; shown for styling.)
• CARE
  Dry clean recommended. Natural-dye prints can be delicate on early washes — keep it away from harsh detergent and long soaking, and dry in shade.
• WHY WE CHOSE THIS PRODUCT
  We keep coming back to ajrakh because the geometry holds up — it's centuries old and still looks modern. This one earns its place on the modal: the soft drape keeps a busy print from feeling heavy, and the deep madder holds it together rather than fighting it. It's the sort of print-heavy saree you can actually wear often.
