Casual Khadi Cotton Silk Pajama from ISKCON Vrindavan by BLISS
Dry clean only. Store folded in a soft muslin pouch away from direct sunlight to keep the sheen alive.
Description
There is a quietness to khadi that no other cloth can imitate. This pajama is woven in the sacred precincts of Vrindavan, where the BLISS collective works under the guidance of ISKCON to sustain handspun traditions that have clothed devotees and seekers for generations. The fabric is a khadi cotton-silk blend, carrying the gentle irregularities of hand-weaving alongside the soft luminosity that silk introduces into the weave. Rendered in acacia, a warm, muted tone drawn from the earth tones of Braj country, the cloth sits lightly on the skin and breathes with the body through the hours. The silhouette is relaxed and free-sized, cut for ease in morning practice, afternoon rest, or quiet evenings spent close to home. Each purchase is a small act of solidarity with a community that weaves not merely for commerce, but as a form of devotion. Pair it with a simple handloom kurta in ivory or undyed cotton for a cohesive, unhurried aesthetic. It also lends itself graciously to the ritual simplicity of temple wear.

Behind this piece
Khadi cotton silk carries within its weave a quiet defiance and a quieter grace. Spun by hand on the charkha, this cloth belongs to a tradition that Gandhi called the fabric of freedom, and it remains today a living practice rather than a museum artefact. The BLISS label, rooted in ISKCON Vrindavan, brings to this pajama a devotional sensibility: unhurried, purposeful, made for a life that values stillness. The blended yarn, cotton meeting silk on the bobbin, gives the fabric its particular softness, its subtle sheen, and its capacity to breathe through warm Indian afternoons.
How to style
In Acacia, pair these pajamas with a hand-block-printed Jaipur cotton kurta in ivory or sage, finishing with Kolhapuri chappals in natural tan. Lemon Chrome responds beautifully to a white chanderi or mul kurta worn loose, with seed-pearl studs and leather mojris. Summer Sand, the most versatile of the three, suits an evening on the verandah when paired with a short cotton nehru-collar kurta and a fine pashmina stole draped over the shoulder. All three colourways move easily between a morning meditation, a quiet family gathering, and an informal festive afternoon.
Fabric & care
Hand wash in cold water with a mild, pH-neutral soap; do not wring. Khadi cotton silk holds dye gently, so wash darks separately for the first two or three washes. Dry flat in the shade; direct sunlight will weaken the hand-spun fibre over time and may shift the colour. Do not tumble dry. Iron on a low-to-medium setting while the cloth is still slightly damp, always on the reverse side. Store folded in breathable cotton muslin, away from synthetic bags, and this cloth will soften and improve beautifully with each wearing.
