Reversible Dohars: The Best Gifting Idea This Season
The festive season calls for endless celebration and gifting
and receiving of special presents to and from loved ones. While you love
gifting your friends and relatives, you often find yourself running out of
ideas. This year, why not make a friend really happy by gifting them a superbly
crafted, super-soft dohar?
What are
dohars?
Dohars are traditional Indian blankets made in a typical
fashion not found anywhere else in the world. It is a type of comforter made by
weaving together cotton that is beaten to a stiff and thin layer, and which is
stitched between layers of more cotton. Traditionally, the outer layers would
be made of muslin – dohars
were unique to royal Indian households and muslin was a prized fabric among
the wealthy. Over the years, however, other households also started making
their own dohars, albeit using cotton as the outer casing.
The word ‘dohar’ comes from the Hindi word ‘doharana’ which
means ‘to cover’ or ‘repeat’. In terms of a comforter, it signifies one that is
made using the layering technique to retain body warmth. This kind of comforter
is most often used in the cold regions of the country. However, depending on
its thickness and density, it may be used all around the year.

Why is it
a wonderful gift?
There is no person in the world who does not crave blissful,
deep sleep. A cosy comforter that does not overheat or cling too much to the
contours of the body goes a long way in promoting the deep sleep you crave. A dohar
is a wonderful item of bed linen that assures one of several years of wonderful
naps and night time sleep.
It naturally follows that when you gift a dohar to a dear
friend or a close family member, you are expressing your love and interest in
their comfort and happiness. You want them to enjoy good sleep every night, and
you want their bed to look nicer with a stunning new dohar. They offer
protection from the cold weather, keep the user snugly cocooned all night, and
do not overheat because they conduct body warmth well (being made of cotton
helps). Now tell us, why wouldn’t your loved one appreciate such a special
gift?
We recommend buying a reversible dohar from a premium bed
linen brand in India for the festive season.

The
benefits of a reversible dohar
As the name suggests, this is a cotton comforter that can be
reversed for use. Thus, the user gets the advantage of two different designs
when they reverse the usual face of the comforter. It’s like gifting them with
two comforters instead of one.
You can buy them in single or double variants, but be sure
to pick a brand that has a large variety of them in 100% cotton and featuring
exquisite patterns and colours.
How to
wash and maintain it
Maintaining a dohar is straightforward. You can wash it in
the washing machine (do not add other clothing to the load) using a good
quality liquid detergent. Use the washing machine’s ‘blanket’ setting and do
not use hot water or bleach in the wash.
Once washed, you may use the dryer on it. If not using a
dryer, refrain from drying it in direct sunlight to avoid colour fading.
We hope you and your loved ones have the best festive season!
