Note : Sungudi sarees are completely handmade. And the dyes are water based and the clothes are dipped multiple times to make sure the vibrant colours are dyed on. The wet sarees are laid on ground near river banks to dry under sunlight for 2 to 3 days and then starched. This is why we can find some dried grass, some mud , colour dye, stains, sand smudges or other impurities stuck to the sarees. Even though some are shaved off,a few gets dried and get stuck to the saree, they can be cleared by hand or in first wash.
