Product details +
Neeli Chowka — blue squares.
Big blue and black checks establish the body of this Ilkal cotton saree.
The scale matters.
These are not small, quiet checks.
They give the cloth a strong graphic rhythm — almost like the repeated geometry of a courtyard floor.
At the edge, a Chikki Paras border woven with gold zari introduces a more traditional register.
Then the pallu changes everything.
Red silk arrives against the checked cotton body, carrying Tope Teni and Gomi design.
According to the supplied craft information, Tope Teni is the traditional technique that interlocks the body and pallu, creating the characteristic seamless join associated with Ilkal sarees.
That contrast is the heart of Neeli Chowka.
Cotton and silk.
Blue-black checks and red.
Everyday cloth and a pallu that refuses to disappear.
Handwoven on a pit loom in Ilkal, Karnataka.
The saree measures 6.2 metres and includes a cotton running blouse piece.
A saree for ordinary days that refuses to be ordinary.

Care & handmade variations +
Dry clean only.
Neeli Chowka is handwoven on a pit loom. Slight variations in the checks, border, weave and pallu detailing may naturally occur in a handmade textile.
The supplied craft information identifies Tope Teni as the traditional technique used to interlock the body and pallu. Small handmade irregularities around woven details or the join should therefore be understood within the character of the craft rather than automatically treated as defects.

Ilkal is defined by Tope Teni, the traditional technique joining body and pallu. Here, blue-and-black cotton checks meet a gold zari Chikki Paras border, before a red silk pallu with Gomi design creates the defining contrast.
