Dohars

Understanding what a dohar is and how it differs from a comforter/quilt can seem confusing. The word Dohar is derived from “ Dohrana”, which means “to repeat,” thus pointing to the layering aspect of its construction.

A dohar is a lightweight blanket made by stitching two to three cotton sheets together layered with cotton in between those sheets.

Did you know that dohars were traditionally used by Maharajas (rulers) to keep themselves cool during the summer? Our exquisite collection of Dohars mostly comes in single pairs and is super airy, breathable and soft. The flannel layering helps trap the cool air, thus being the perfect choice for summers. You can even use them as an AC blanket for a pleasant sleeping experience.
