Yellow Cotton Lehariya Poshak for Gopal Ji

The Yellow Cotton Lehariya Poshak completes this five-color line: a wide, circular-cut cotton skirt in yellow, hand-dyed with the diagonal wave stripe pattern known as lehariya, in red, edged in a gold pointed zigzag lace border with small bead trim, for a Krishna idol at home.

Why This Piece Uses Red Instead of Yellow Stripes

Every other color in this line pairs yellow diagonal stripes against its named base, but yellow obviously can’t stripe against itself, so this Yellow Cotton Lehariya Poshak swaps in red stripes instead, the only listing in the line built this way.

What Lehariya Means on the Yellow Piece

Lehariya is a traditional Rajasthani tie-dye technique that produces diagonal wave stripes across the fabric, and this piece carries that pattern in red across a yellow cotton base, cut in a full circle so the stripes radiate outward from the center when the skirt is spread.

The Wide Circular Cut of This Skirt

Unlike our narrower panel-style poshaks, this piece is cut as a near-complete circle, so it spreads into a broad, fan-like skirt around the idol rather than draping in a straight fall, a silhouette specific to this Lehariya line.

The Gold Zigzag Border on the Yellow Edition

A sharp, pointed gold zigzag border runs the full circumference of the skirt, with a narrower band of small colorful beadwork just inside it, framing the lehariya stripes without competing with them for attention.

Sizing the Yellow Cotton Lehariya Poshak

This listing runs across five idol sizes: 0-1 inch, 2 inches, 3-4 inches, 5 inches, and 6-7 inches, a fairly continuous run compared to some of our other lines. Measure your idol and pick the closest match before ordering.

Also Available in Blue, Magenta, Orange, and Red

This same lehariya construction comes in four other base colors. The Red Cotton Lehariya Poshak uses the identical two colors with the stripe and base swapped, yellow stripes against a red base.

What Arrives With the Yellow Edition

Small variation in exact stripe width and spacing between individual pieces is normal for hand-dyed lehariya work, not a defect. It ships pressed flat, wrapped in tissue, sealed in a poly pack, ready to dress your idol directly out of the box.

Washing the Yellow Cotton Lehariya Poshak

The Care attribute on this listing confirms Washable. Cotton generally tolerates gentle washing better than silk, but a cool hand wash is still safer than a machine cycle given the hand-dyed stripe pattern and beadwork border, especially on a piece with this much visible color contrast.

FAQ: Yellow Cotton Lehariya Poshak

What idol sizes does this fit? Five sizes: 0-1 inch, 2 inches, 3-4 inches, 5 inches, and 6-7 inches.

Is this washable? Yes, the listing confirms Washable.

Why is the stripe color different from the other listings? Because the base is already yellow, the stripes here use red instead of yellow so the pattern is still visible.

Storing the Yellow Cotton Lehariya Poshak

Fold this piece flat rather than hanging it, and keep it away from anything that could snag the beadwork border or crush the pleats of the circular skirt. A dedicated pouch works better than storing it loose alongside other pieces, especially if you rotate it with other festival poshaks.

A Bright Choice for Daily Rotation

Yellow carries a strong association with Krishna’s traditional peetambar garments, and paired with bold red lehariya stripes here, this piece works well for both everyday display and larger festival occasions throughout the calendar year.
