Starch

Most of the sarees are starched using ‘chawal ka paani’ (water that is left over after boiling rice). The starched sarees are tightly wrapped over a wooden roll and left to dry in the sun. This gives the fabric some stiffness and sheen. Then, these are carefully folded and sent to the buyers (or shops).
