The piece in detail
What is woven into it
This set is woven with the Jethipotiya motif, the weaver's own name for it, in antique rose-gold zari on emerald green.
The sador body is scattered with ornate floral buti and edged with a scalloped zari border that frames the shoulder and neckline like lace. Its end opens into a panel of interlinked floral rosettes set in a fine lattice, with columns of buti between the bands, then green-and-gold stripes and a row of green-and-gold tassels.
The mekhela carries the same buti across its body and a deep rosette-lattice panel towards the hem, so the two pieces read as one when worn.
Occasion & styling
For weddings and receptions, Bihu, Durga Puja, anniversaries and festive evenings, wear it with the matching green blouse, with zari buti and a scalloped border, as shown.
Antique-gold or rose-gold jewellery suits the zari best: a Junbiri, Dugdugi or Golpata, or a slim gold chain by day. Pleat the sador over the left shoulder and let the tasselled end fall free, so the rosette panel shows.
How to wear a mekhela sador
The mekhela goes on first: step into it, draw it up to the waist, fold the pleats at the front and tuck them in. Then the sador: one end tucked in at the waist, taken round, and the rest carried across the front and over the left shoulder.
The film ends on the gold worn with it: the pendant, the ring, the earrings and the cuff.
The object
Morakot is emerald in Assamese. The zari is antique rose-gold rather than yellow gold, and on this green that is the whole difference.

Care
- Dry clean only, and tell the cleaner it is Paat with zari.
- Never machine-wash it or leave it to soak: zari can dull when it gets damp.
- Press it on the reverse at a low setting, through a cotton cloth, and keep the iron off the scalloped border and the rosette panels.
- Fold it in muslin or cotton, never plastic, away from damp and direct sun, and refold it along new lines every few months.
- Keep perfume and deodorant off the cloth.
