This is a traditional Indian fabric, known for its fine texture, transparency, and lightweight nature. It’s typically made with silk, cotton, or a blend of both. 

This term, when applied to Chanderi, indicates that the fabric has a soft and smooth texture. 

• Lightweight: Mal Chanderi is known for its airy and comfortable feel. 
• Sheer: The fabric is somewhat see-through, giving it an elegant and ethereal quality. 
• Soft: The “mal” component of the name emphasizes the soft, smooth texture of the fabric. 
• Glossy: Chanderi fabrics, including Mal Chanderi, often have a subtle sheen or luster. 
• Intricate Designs: It’s often adorned with traditional motifs and patterns, sometimes using zari (metallic thread). 

Mal Chanderi, like other Chanderi fabrics, is typically handwoven, which contributes to its unique texture and quality. 

It’s commonly used for sarees, dress materials, dupattas, and other garments, particularly for festive and formal occasions.
