A handwoven pure Katan silk Banarasi saree in yellow, with scrolling vines, chinar leaves and florals in a continuous Jangla layout drawn over the body. The motifs, anchal and border are all woven in zari, the chinar leaves catching the gold in particular as the drape moves. Handwoven in Varanasi on a traditional pit loom.
A Chinar Jangla is woven without break across the body — the leaves and vines have to carry continuously from one end of the drape to the other. The loom is set so that no two yards repeat exactly, and the weaver works to keep the field reading as a single garden in gold.
Styling Note
A Nivi drape lets the Chinar field unfold along the body. Style with antique-gold jhumkis or chand bali; the yellow ground sits warm against old-gold tones. A tonal mustard silk blouse, or a contrast deep brown blouse, anchors the ground.

Caring for Your Handloom
A handloom saree is not just worn — it is preserved, rested, and cared for over time.
After wearing, allow the saree to settle gently. Dry clean only, so the weave, colour, and zari remain protected. When storing, wrap it in a soft muslin cloth and keep it in a dry place. Zari is delicate and responds to changes in weather; the muslin helps the textile breathe while keeping the weave stable.
Avoid spraying perfume directly onto the saree, as fragrance and alcohol can affect the fabric and zari. Every few months, open it out and let it air naturally for a while — a small ritual that allows the weave to breathe and helps the saree stay beautiful for years.

Every Stuti Weaves saree is woven to a standard width of 44–46 inches.
