Paithani (Marathi: पैठणी) is a type of sari named in honor of the Paithan town located in the Aurangabad district in the Indian state of Maharashtra, where sari was produced by hand. The present Yeola town, located in Nashik, Maharashtra, is the biggest producer of Paithani.
Paithani is distinguished by border lines of an oblique square design, as well as the padar is adorned with the peacock design. Plain and designs with spots are available. In addition, single-colored and Kaleidoscope-colored styles are trendy. The kaleidoscope effect is created using one color when weaving lengthwise and another for weaving width-wise (Source: Wikipedia).
