Mango Yellow Kadhua Meenadar Munga Silk Handloom Saree

A handwoven Banarasi Munga silk saree in mango yellow, drawn over with meenakari motifs in coloured silk and zari across the body. The motifs, anchal and border are all woven in zari — an intricate Banarasi border frames the drape, and the meenakari work enamels each motif in two registers at once. Handwoven in Varanasi on a traditional pit loom.

Meenadar layered with Kadhua is among the most refined Banarasi compositions on the loom — coloured silks are introduced alongside the zari so every motif carries enamelled depth without sacrificing the gold work. Munga silk gives the cloth its natural sheen and weight; the luxury of the drape is in the meeting of three threads — silk, zari, and resham — placed motif by motif.

Styling Note

Drape Nivi-style with the pallu fanned wide so the meenakari work reads in the light. Pair with classic gold or temple jewellery and a contrast green, deep maroon or ivory raw-silk blouse.

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.
