Gharchola sarees are traditionally bought for weddings and they carry a gold thread for the checks with small golden motifs like a peacock or a lotus in the center. Lavish use of zari, thread enhances its beauty.These saris are tied and dyed in Kutch. Though Kutchh has retained its traditional designs and colour schemes, other centres in Gujarat, mainly Jamnagar, are producing "modern versions" using unconventional colour schemes and fancy designs. The final red color of the Gharchola sarees is traditionally dyed in Jamnagar because of the special quality of the water there. Rajkot in Saurastra is another important center for Gharchola sarees.
