A reversible dohar is a type of lightweight quilt or blanket that originates from India. Traditionally used during the summer months, dohars are made from multiple layers of cotton or other breathable fabrics, providing comfort and warmth without being too heavy. The “reversible” aspect means that the dohar can be used on either side, with both sides typically featuring different patterns or designs, adding versatility and aesthetic appeal to its functionality.

Dohars are crafted using a technique that involves sandwiching a cotton layer between two layers of voile or muslin, making them exceptionally soft and airy. This construction method allows for adequate ventilation, ensuring a cool and comfortable sleep, even in warmer climates. The edges are often finished with intricate piping or borders, adding to their durability and visual charm.

The reversible design of a dohar not only offers variety in appearance but also extends the lifespan of the blanket, as it can be flipped and used alternately. Dohars come in various sizes, from baby blankets to king-sized quilts, and feature a wide range of patterns, including traditional Indian motifs, florals, and contemporary prints. Their lightweight nature makes them easy to care for, typically requiring simple washing and minimal maintenance.
