Arunodayam Varnam

What fabric is Arunodayam Varnam made of?

Arunodayam Varnam is woven in Premium Semi Tussar Silk. The textured semi-tussar base is what gives a warm copper shade its earthy depth rather than a flat, shiny finish.

What colour is burnt copper orange?

It is a warm, earthy orange with a coppery depth — closer to rust and terracotta than to bright orange, which is what keeps it wearable for traditional occasions. For colour confidence, contact us to arrange a live product viewing by prior appointment via WhatsApp: +91 73567 77369. Minor variation from screen or lighting is not treated as a defect; a material colour mismatch is reviewed under our exchange policy using the approved evidence.

What is woven on the body, pallu and border?

The body carries fine zari line work with small floral zari motifs scattered across it. The pallu is a striped zari design, and the border is a traditional zari pattern with floral and dotted detailing.

Which occasions suit a copper orange saree?

Warm earthy tones are a natural fit for Onam, Deepavali, Karthigai Deepam, temple visits and wedding-guest dressing. Copper also reads strongly under warm evening and lamp light, which suits classical performances and festive evenings.

Does Arunodayam Varnam come with a blouse piece?

Yes. It comes with an attached running blouse with zari, approximately 0.8 metres. Three blouse-stitching ideas are shown on this page for your tailor to adapt.

What is the saree length, and are fall and pico available?

Approximately 5.5 metres saree plus approximately 0.8 metres blouse. Prabha's Heritage does not offer fall or pico services — your own tailor can add them. Once a saree is altered, fall/pico-finished or the blouse piece is cut, it can no longer be cancelled, returned or exchanged.

What blouse colour works with a copper orange saree?

A self-colour copper or rust blouse keeps the drape tonal and lets the zari lead. For contrast, bottle green, deep maroon or mustard-gold works with the warm base — repeat one colour from the border rather than every motif.

What jewellery pairs well with this saree?

Warm copper sits beautifully with antique gold rather than bright gold. From Pavizham by Prabha's Heritage, a classic Kasu Mala or antique-finish temple necklace with elegant Jhimikki (the Kerala name for the domed jhumka-style earring) completes a warm South Indian festive look.

How should I care for this semi-tussar saree?

Dry clean to preserve the zari and the semi-tussar texture, especially for the first cleaning. Store folded in breathable muslin cloth rather than plastic, refold periodically along new lines, and keep away from direct sunlight, moisture, perfume and hair spray. If ironing, use low-to-medium heat on the reverse through a cotton cloth.

Can I see the saree live before I buy?

Yes. We arrange a live product viewing by prior appointment via WhatsApp: +91 73567 77369. Share the product link, your occasion and a convenient time, and we will show you the saree personally.

Is Cash on Delivery available, and when will it be dispatched?

Yes. COD is available on eligible domestic orders below ₹5,000 with a non-refundable ₹250 handling fee; orders of ₹5,000 and above must be prepaid. Ready-to-ship products are normally dispatched within 2–3 business days, with delivery in 3–5 business days to major metros and 5–7 business days elsewhere in India. Standard domestic shipping is free on prepaid orders.

Do you ship internationally, and who pays customs?

Yes, we ship worldwide to supported destinations. Charges and transit time depend on destination, parcel weight, order value and courier. Customs duty, import tax, brokerage and local charges are payable by the recipient unless expressly stated otherwise.

Can I return or exchange this saree?

An eligible request must be raised within 48 hours of delivery to wecare@prabhasheritage.co.in or WhatsApp +91 7356777369 with your Order ID. The saree must be unused, unworn and unwashed with tags, invoice and original packaging intact, and our approval is required before anything is sent back. Altered or customised sarees are not eligible. Transit damage, a missing item or an incorrect item needs one continuous, uncut 360° unboxing video beginning with the sealed parcel and showing the shipping label. Please see our Returns and Exchanges Policy.
