Construction: 3-Layer Sandwich (Mulmul + Flannel + Mulmul)
Ideal Ambient Temp: AC 22°C – 25°C Sleep Environment
Thermal Tog: 1.5 – 2.5 Tog (Ultra-Lightweight)
The Dohar is an indigenous Indian sleeping invention born in Rajasthan and Gujarat to solve a unique climate challenge: sleeping comfortably when nighttime temperatures hover between 22°C and 28°C under air conditioning or desert breezes, where a winter quilt is suffocatingly hot but a bare bedsheet leaves you chilled.
The 3-Layer Mulmul Sandwich Architecture
A authentic AC Dohar contains zero polyfill batting. Its thermal magic lies in a 3-layer sandwich:
- Top Shell: Featherlight, breathable 100% cotton mulmul (often hand-block printed with Sanganeri botanical motifs).
- Middle Core: A soft, unbleached cotton flannel sheet that acts as a gentle thermal buffer.
- Bottom Shell: Ultra-fine combed mulmul that sits silky and cool directly against your skin.
