A 9 Yard Parsi Kor

Along with full garas, the border sari or kor became popular. Certain patterns in kors are found repeated in different colours according to individual preference. The China cheene, (Chinese figures) kasab pakshi, (birds) murgha batak (roosters and fowl) and flower kors were regularly made while the kanda papeta type of sari, being less expensive than other varieties got this ‘common’ nickname. The 9-yard kor which edges a Parsi sari is seen here with roosters, butterflies and floral motifs.
