About

Mulmul Dohars & Flannel Dohars The dohar is a uniquely Indian bedding essential — a double-layer or triple-layer cotton throw that provides gentle warmth without the bulk of a quilt. Freedom Tree's range includes mulmul dohars (ultra-lightweight, for warm nights) and flannel dohars (slightly warmer, for cooler months or AC bedroom s). Both are available in original prints. Dohar Sizes & Styling Available in single and double bed sizes. Dohars work well as a standalone top layer in warm weather, or alongside a bedcover for cooler nights. The lightweight construction makes them easy to fold and store during summer. Frequently Asked Questions about Dohars Frequently Asked Questions about Dohars What is a dohar and how is it different from a quilt? A dohar is a traditional Indian light blanket — three layers of muslin (mulmul) cotton stitched together. It's lighter and more breathable than a quilt, making it ideal for Indian summers and air-conditioned rooms. A quilt has a thicker padded fill and is heavier.

For a single bed (90x190 cm), a dohar of approximately 150x225 cm is comfortable. For a double bed (137x190 cm), 220x240 cm is standard. Freedom Tree dohars are available in single and double sizes; check product listings for exact dimensions. How do I wash a mulmul dohar?

Mulmul softens further with each wash, which is considered a desirable characteristic. Are dohars suitable for use in air-conditioned rooms? Yes — dohars are ideal for air-conditioned rooms. They provide just enough warmth without overheating, and the light, breathable mulmul cotton is comfortable against the skin in cold AC environments. They're popular as the prima
