Sarees Below Rs 500: Types of Fabric

The saree's unmatched versatility comes largely from the wide range of fabrics it can be crafted from. Each fabric not only defines the saree's drape, texture, and comfort but also plays a vital role in determining its suitability for different occasions – from casual daywear to elaborate weddings. At Pothys, this diversity is beautifully curated, with sarees available in silk, cotton, linen, jute, crepe, and blended materials. Here are a few of them below:

• Silk Sarees: These are among the most coveted in Indian tradition, often reserved for weddings, religious ceremonies, and festive events. Pothys offers a stunning range of soft silk sarees, featuring zari mango butta motifs, lotus flower borders, and intricately woven pallus. Zari and soft silk work together to create a regal and radiant look. These sarees are not only garments, they're heirlooms passed from one generation to the next. Silk sarees below 3000 may be an affordable and elegant fashion choice.
• Cotton Sarees: For everyday wear, especially in India's warm climate, cotton sarees between Rs 500 to 1000 remain a preferred choice. Soft, breathable, and lightweight, they offer unparalleled comfort while retaining an aesthetic appeal. Pothys' collection includes Kerala cotton sarees, with zari bawanchi borders and floral butta prints in shades of cream, blue, and green. These sarees often feature simple pallus and are paired with plain or subtly printed blouses. Cotton sarees are also loved for their simplicity and elegance, making them ideal for office, travel, or casual social events.
• Linen Sarees: Linen sarees are the epitome of subtle sophistication. With a slightly crisp texture and natural sheen, line sarees are perfect for both formal and semi-formal occasions. Pothys showcases linen options with embroidery and prints that frequently include thread weaving pallus and printed or embroidered blouses, offering a refined look that appeals to the modern and minimalist aesthetic.
• Jute and Kora Cotton Sarees: The jute and cotton sarees from Pothys offer a rustic yet refined appeal. Their earthy tones and textured feel make them ideal for cultural functions and eco-conscious fashion choices. These sarees may be enhanced with zari borders, checkered patterns, and contrast blouses.

Weaving Techniques for Sarees Below 500

The beauty of a saree lies not just in its fabric but in the rich visual language of its weaving techniques, motifs, and design elements. Across India, regional craftsmanship has birthed an array of traditional patterns, motifs, and borders, many of which are still preserved and elevated in our Sarees.

Sarees Between 500 to 1000: Butta Motifs and Brocade Patterns

In our Sarees between 500 to 1000 range, explore ornate decorations across your sarees. Buttas are decorative motifs, ranging from mango, floral, temple designs, to geometric and abstract patterns. In our collection, mago buttas and star zari buttas are frequently seen on silk and cotton sarees. These balance tradition with elegance through motifs.

Brocade work, often seen in blouses or pallu, involves intricate weaving, typically using gold or silver threads. These techniques elevate a saree from simple attire to a piece of art.

Sarees Between 1000 to 2000: Zari Work

Zari is a hallmark of Indian textile design, involving metallic threads, often gold or silver, woven into the fabric to create intricate patterns. It is especially prominent in silk sarees. Zari detailing from small motifs, also called buttas, are often scattered across the body of the saree, often accompanied by a richly woven zari border and pallu. In our sarees between 1000 to 2000 range, experience elevated grace and understated elegance.

Zari adds not just shimmer, but also symbolic value – representing prosperity and festivity. It's most commonly worn in weddings, bridal, and festive functions and has remained a staple across India.

Dress Material Above 1000: Borders

Looking for ever-sophisticated, neat and clean borders? Explore that and more in our gorgeous dress materials above 1000. Borders are another key design element that can define a saree's regional origin and purpose. In Pothys' offering, you'll find Temple borders, contrast small check borders, and a lot more! These borders frame the saree, provide visual contrast, and in many cases carry cultural symbolism.

Half Sarees Below 3000

At Pothys, you'll find a thoughtfully designed range of half sarees below ₹3000, making this traditional attire accessible to everyone. Woven in cotton-silk blends, soft silks, and lightweight fabrics, these half sarees feature graceful zari borders, vibrant dupattas, and youthful skirt patterns that bring a touch of festivity to any occasion. Whether it's for a cultural event, a coming-of-age ceremony, or simply for everyday elegance, these sarees combine comfort, affordability, and timeless charm.

The beauty of the half saree lies in its universal appeal; it is a style that resonates with women of all ages. Young girls love it as a stepping stone into traditional drapes, while women appreciate its versatility for festivals, temple visits, or semi-formal gatherings. By keeping the price range affordable, Pothys ensures that the grace of this ethnic ensemble is within reach for everyone who wishes to celebrate culture with confidence.

Sarees Above 2000

For those who wish to invest in elegance that lasts a lifetime, Pothys presents a wide selection of sarees above ₹2000. These sarees often feature premium silks, intricate zari work, rich handlooms, and exquisite embroidery that make them perfect for weddings, festive occasions, and grand celebrations. Crafted with attention to detail, they showcase artistry through traditional motifs, temple borders, and finely woven pallus, offering both durability and heirloom value.

What makes this segment special is the blend of sophistication and versatility. While some sarees above ₹2000 are treasured as bridal or festive wear, others are designed to be lightweight and stylish for formal gatherings, cultural events, or even office functions. Each drape reflects the craftsmanship and heritage that Pothys is known for, ensuring that your saree is not just a garment, but a cherished statement of tradition and beauty.

Colour Palette: Styling Sarees Under 500

One of the most captivating aspects of the saree is its visual storytelling through colour. In Indian culture, colours hold profound symbolic significance, and sarees have historically embodied these meanings. Bridal attire is generally red, white is considered sacred for spiritual observance, and yellow and green are worn during festivals.

Classic colour combinations like red, green, gold, cream and yellow dominate our collection. For example, our green zari mango butta design on a soft silk saree represents fertility, renewal, and prosperity, often worn during pujas and weddings, whereas cream with blue flower butta on a Kerala cotton saree showcases the elegance of Kerala's traditional attire.

Colours like rani pink, onion pink, and peacock green are also common in soft silk sarees.

Softer tones, monochromes, and neutral palettes are also popular and appeal to those looking for a quieter expression of style – ideal for workspaces, semi-formal occasions, or simply for everyday wear.

Many individuals may opt for contrasting blouses, borders, and pallu for a striking appeal. These create depth and vibrancy and enhance the drape and highlight movement.

The true beauty of a saree lies in how it can be styled. A traditional silk saree can be worn with temple jewellery and a classic bun. A cotton saree can be worn with a plain blouse, jhumkas and a bindi. Linen sarees can be paired with minimal silver jewellery and block heels for an Indo-Western office-ready ensemble.

Sarees Under 500 for Every Occasion

One of the most remarkable strengths of the saree lies in its versatility across all occasions, from the grandeur of weddings to the simplicity of daily wear. A saree is perfect at any time.

For weddings in India, bridal sarees that feature luxurious brocade blouses and intricate weaving patterns are ideal for the bride or bridesmaids. Red and gold sarees are preferred in North India, and vibrant greens, pinks, and maroons dominate South Indian bridal traditions.

Festivals such as Diwali, Pongal, Navaratri or Onam often call for vibrant, spiritually resonant attire. Cotton, silk-cotton, and lightweight silk sarees are popular here.

For semi-formal social events such as family get-togethers and cultural events, butta soft silk sarees, or cotton sarees with prominent borders or zari work are popular.
