Paithani is characterised by borders of an oblique square design, and a padar with a peacock design.[2] Plain as well as spotted designs are available. Among other varieties, single colored and kaleidoscope-colored designs are also popular. The kaleidoscopic effect is achieved by using one color for weaving lengthwise and another for weaving width wise.[3]
