How to pick the right dohar size
- Measure your mattress width + add 20 inches on each side for comfortable drape.
- Measure your mattress length + add 10 inches for foot-end tuck.
- Match the total to our chart.
- If your dohar will double as a sofa throw, size up — a queen dohar drapes beautifully over a 3-seater.

Frequently asked questions
Is a dohar warm enough for winter?North Indian winter (Delhi, Jaipur) — layer two dohars or pair with a razai. South Indian winter (Bangalore, Chennai) — one dohar is plenty.
Can I use a dohar on a sofa?Absolutely. A Queen or King dohar is a popular sofa throw. Reversible printing means you can flip when one side needs airing.
How do I wash a hand-block printed dohar?Gentle cold-water machine wash, inside-out. Line dry in shade. Medium iron on the plain side.
Do your dohars come with pillow covers?Dohars are sold standalone. Pillow covers are included only with bedsheets.
