Koli women wearing Lugra sarees

Description:

Traditionally, Lugra sarees are made from cotton or silk, both suitable for Maharashtra’s coastal climate. Cotton is preferred for everyday wear due to its breathability and comfort, while silk is often reserved for special occasions and festivals. Lugra sarees often feature bright and vibrant colours like red, green, yellow, and blue, which hold cultural significance and reflect the lively spirit of the Koli community.
